The flight from Doha to Sydney has landed at Sydney International Airport.

The large group of women and children will soon disembark and begin making their way through security and customs.

The flight from Doha to Sydney carrying four women and six children formerly linked to terror group ISIS are due to land in the coming minutes.

It comes after the flight to Melbourne, carrying two women and seven children, landed early about 4.30pm.

Several armed guards were seen patrolling Sydney International Airport in preparation for the women and children’s arrival.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke earlier today confirmed seven women and 12 children formerly linked to ISIS would arrive in Sydney and Melbourne.

‘The government has not and will not provide any assistance to this group,’ he said.

‘These are people who have made the horrific choice to join a dangerous terrorist organisation and to place their children in an unspeakable situation.

‘As we have said many times, any members of this cohort who have committed crimes can expect to face the full force of the law.’

The women, and some of their children, left Australia between 2012 and 2016 to join men allegedly part of ISIS – a terrorist group that sought to seize power in Iraq and Syria.

Following the group’s fall in 2019, the women and their children were placed in Al-Roj refugee camp in far northeastern Syria.

The men were either executed or imprisoned. Boys held in Al-Roj were also transferred to adult prison once they hit teenage years, sometimes slightly before.

The Australian Government has had over a decade to prepare for the repatriation of the women and children.

Four of the women arrived in Australia, three in Melbourne and one in Sydney, earlier this month. Only one walked free, the rest were arrested and charged.

It is unclear whether the women who arrived in Australia on Tuesday will be charged.

Reports suggest police are prioritising the women and children’s quiet removal from Sydney and Melbourne airports.

There been reports none of the four women, formerly linked to ISIS, who landed in Sydney on Tuesday night will be charged by Australian Federal Police upon arrival.

Instead, the unconfirmed reports suggest they will be offered health assistance and a private escort out of the airport.

Daily Mail has contacted AFP for further comment.

Hodan Abby has been banned from returning to Australia on national security grounds under a government-issued temporary exclusion order and is understood to have remained overseas with her child.

Daily Mail understands Abby and her child had secured flights home but were turned away at the airport due to the exclusion order.

Abby was given the option of allowing her daughter to return to Australia with the other mothers because the child is not subject to the order, but she declined. Syrian authorities in Damascus said they would care for them.

Abby’s family has hired Birchgrove Legal principal solicitor Moustafa Kheir to fight the exclusion order, which is due to remain in place until February 2028.

After fleeing her western Sydney home with a friend at the age of 18, Abby spent years trapped in Kurdish-run camps with her daughter, who suffered shrapnel wounds to her head, hip and back.

Her daughter, now aged nine, lives with disabilities and ongoing speech and movement impairments as a result of her injuries.
