Australia charges ISIL-linked returnee after Syria trip

Australia has charged a 34-year-old woman with being a member of a terrorist organisation and entering a declared conflict zone after she returned from Syria with another woman; she arrived in Melbourne in September and faces up to 10 years in prison, with authorities also charging other returnees with related offences tied to crimes against humanity and enslavement as more Australians come home from camps in northeast Syria, fueling ongoing political debate over citizens' right to return and the fate of children.
