Reports from German media indicate that many former ISIS fighters with German citizenship remain imprisoned in Syria and Iraq.
The German government has stated it has no plans to repatriate them, with most held in prisons and camps in northeastern Syria under Kurdish control.
One notable case is Abu Walaa, once considered ISIS’s top preacher in Germany, who was tried and sentenced to prison in Germany.
The issue remains controversial: security agencies warn of risks if fighters return, while human rights groups argue they should face trial in Germany under the rule of law.
