Iraq’s Ministry of Justice said it has completed investigations into 1,000 suspected ISIS members and signed agreements with several countries to repatriate their nationals.

Iraq recently received between 5,000 and 7,000 ISIS detainees from Syria in an operation coordinated with the United States after the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces withdrew and closed detention camps that had held suspected members of the group for nearly a decade.

Russia, Turkiye, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, and Egypt are among the countries that have indicated readiness to repatriate their nationals.
