Recently, the YPG and other authorities in Northern Syria have announced that they want countries whose citizens joined ISIS to take back their foreign fighters who are currently imprisoned by YPG forces there. Nuri Mahmoud, who is the YPG spokesman, discusses the situation and the international community's responsibilitiy.
The interview was conducted by Ronahi Elik, Berivan Botan, and Dr. Thoreau Redcrow with the Kevok Foundation.
How many total prisoners of ISIS does the YPG/J or SDF currently hold?
The number of ISIS prisoners in our hands numbers around 900 men. Along with these are approximately 500 ISIS wives and more than 1,000 of their children.
How many nations are represented amongst these prisoners?
Those ISIS prisoners we currently hold are from 44 different countries.
Have any of these nations taken their ISIS prisoners back from YPG?
Four nations have: Russia, Sudan, Indonesia, and the United States, who all took back one singular woman.
Ideally, what would the YPG like to see happen with these ISIS prisoners?
As you know, the ISIS terrorists we have captured and now hold are from all around the world. Importantly, their organization did not only perform terrorist attacks within Syria, but also in Europe, America, Asia, and the throughout the wider Middle East. For this reason the punishment of these terrorists must be carried out within the legal framework of international law. They must be brought before an international tribunal.
Currently, the leadership of the DFNS (Democratic Federation of Northern Syria) is expected to bear this heavy burden alone, which is wrong. Many states are not interested in helping us bring these men to justice for their crimes. This is in contrast to most of the citizens of these nations, who we believe would like to see these ISIS prisoners face punishment for their vile actions.

Other reports I read said some countries simply refused to take them back, but said try them there, or just kill them.
Take them back? How about y’all just shoot ‘em all in the back of the head and dump the bodies in a pit?
We’ll be sure not to notice.
They already killed a load of them. Enough for several lifetimes, these are the ones that surrendered.
In Iraq the ISIS women did not fare well. A bunch of them got the death penalty too.
Right now one of our Navy Seals is on trial for killing one with a knife.

I don’t care if they surrendered or not. They didn’t care when their victims surrendered. Exterminate the vermin.
Yes. It has been said that Trump is considering putting them in GITMO. In an orange jumpsuit in the sunshine.
