Thousands of ISIS fighters are being held indefinitely by Kurdish-led forces in Syria, with no trials, no clear legal framework, and growing risks of escapes and renewed terrorism.
Following the territorial defeat of ISIS, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and their Kurdish allies took custody of an estimated 10,000 suspected ISIS members, including both foreign fighters and local operatives.
Today, most of these detainees remain confined in overcrowded, under-resourced prisons across northeastern Syria, held indefinitely without formal charges or judicial proceedings, as the international community continues to avoid responsibility for prosecution or repatriation.
