    Australia rules out repatriating citizens from Syrian camp

    -

    SYDNEY, ‌Feb 17 (Reuters) - Australian ​Prime Minister Anthony Albanese ⁠said on Tuesday his government would ​not repatriate Australians living ‌in a Syrian camp that holds families of ⁠suspected Islamic ⁠State militants.

    "We have a very firm view that we ‌won't be providing assistance ⁠or ‌repatriation," Albanese told ​ABC News.

    Thirty-four Australians released on Monday ‌from a ​camp in ⁠northern Syria were ‌returned to ⁠the detention centre due to "technical reasons," two ​sources told ‌Reuters.
