The most recent development in the ongoing situation involving ISIS detainees is Iraq's confirmation of holding over 5,000 ISIS members transferred from Syria, as reported by the Daily Times and Kurdistan24. Iraqi Justice Ministry spokesperson Ahmed Laibi stated that the detainees include more than 270 Iraqis, over 3,000 Syrians, and other foreign nationals, all held in a single prison facility where they will face investigation and prosecution under Iraqi law. This transfer is part of a broader effort by the Global Coalition Against Daesh, with Iraq playing a key role at the coalition's request. The Frontier Post highlighted that Iraq is in discussions with several countries to repatriate these detainees, while also seeking financial assistance to manage the influx. This comes amid a reported increase in Islamic State activity in Syria, as noted by Iraq's foreign minister Fuad Hussein at the Munich Security Conference.
