Kazakhstan do the opposite to Denmark though
~~~~~~~~~
In a three-phase operation conducted between January and May 2019, Kazakhstan has repatriated 595 of its citizens and sent the majority of the women and children to adaptation and rehabilitation centres. Here, the returnees were given into the care of medical workers, psychologists and theologians before returning to their communities.
Kazakhstan also tried and sentenced 33 male fighters, who will also undergo rehabilitation while serving their sentences.
“Reintegration is hard,” admitted Sabinella, a young widow brought back from Syria last year, speaking at a conference in the European Parliament on the Kazakh repatriation experience on 4 February. “But the continued support of the family and counselling help.”
In November 2019, Kazakhstan repatriated 14 more children from Baghdad, who have spent the past two years with their mothers, currently imprisoned for terrorist activities.
The effectiveness of Kazakhstan’s and other Central Asian nations’ deradicalisation and reintegration efforts remain to be seen.
