Two Yazidi women previously told the ABC they were held captive in the Syrian home of some of the returned ISIS-linked Australians. One woman says she's been interviewed by the Australian Federal Police, and would be willing to testify in any proceedings. She first spoke to the ABC for an episode of the Foreign Correspondent program in 2023, looking at the legacy of the ISIS caliphate on the persecuted Yazidi minority community. Police cars were at the refugee camp to escort those leaving.
