Around 34,000 people allegedly linked to IS were also being detained at al-Hol and another camp, Roj, the UN reported last August. The population of the camps, of which 60% were children, comprised 6,700 Iraqis, 15,500 Syrians and 8,500 citizens of other countries, including the UK.

This is one of the most insane media spins you will ever read. A literal concentration camp where children are born into and never left out of is treated like a "dention camp". There is no legal process for putting people into the camp. People are simply imprisoned in the concentration camp indefinitely for being suspected relatives of IS fighters.

I recommend reading a bit about it and try to filter out the propaganda to realize how insane it is https://newlinesmag.com/reportage/in-syrias-detention-camps-fears-grow-of-an-islamic-state-resurgence/
