Ce sont des enfants – pas des terroristes !
On estime que 4640 enfants sont partis en Irak ou en Syrie, seuls ou avec leurs familles, pour rejoindre l’État islamique (EI) autoproclamé. Depuis la chute du groupe terroriste, un grand nombre d’entre eux vivent dans des camps de déplacés dans des conditions déplorables. Ces enfants ont non seulement été victimes de recrutement ou de traite, mais ont également été témoins d’une violence et d’un endoctrinement extrêmes. Nous appelons les autorités gouvernementales à prendre urgemment leurs responsabilités afin de garantir leurs droits.

An estimated 4640 children travelled to Iraq or Syria, either alone or with their families, to join the so-called Islamic State (ISIL).

They have not only been victims of recruitment or trafficking, but also witnessed extreme violence and indoctrination. We call on State authorities for an urgent response to guarantee their rights.
