INTERVIEW
"The decision not to repatriate these children is a criminal offense, an omission to help," said Marie Dosé. Along with Henri Leclerc and Gerard Tcholakian, the lawyer represents a dozen families of women and children of French jihadists who announced Monday that he filed a complaint against the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Yves Le Drian. "It is an offense provided for by Article 223-6 of the Penal Code", justifies it on Europe 1.
"A French child died last week"
Why is this complaint coming today? "Because, perhaps naively, I thought this summer, even as the Minister of Foreign Affairs was informed of the dramatic situation in which these children and women were, repatriations would be organized," says Marie Dosé. "I see that it is not ... Fifty degrees under the tents, a French child died last week, he was 12. This child was named Sofiane."
"At this point, it is a failure to help to leave these children at risk of death," says the lawyer. "The responsibility of a government minister, who knows such acts in the course of his duties, must be criminally repressed."
"Let their children be placed on welfare in childhood"
As for the responsibility of the women who made the decision to leave France to join the Islamic State, Marie Dosé underlines that all "are the subject of an international arrest warrant". "If France's answer today is to let French women die while they are being judicially prosecuted in France, and to make their children pay, even though they are innocent, because of their fault. mother, I do not understand very well the definition of democracy. "
"What is established is that for months, and sometimes for years, these women have been arbitrarily detained in the hands of Kurds in Syrian Kurdistan," the lawyer concludes. "They are not tried anywhere, neither in Syria, nor elsewhere, except in France, what these women are asking for is to go to prison in France, to pay for what they have done and especially their children ( ...) are placed by social welfare for children. "
The complaints commission of the Court must now decide on the admissibility of complaints. Earlier this year, the French authorities had prepared a plan for the global repatriation of jihadists and their families, which, however, has never been implemented.
