ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland will not help bring home adult citizens who joined up with jihadist fighters in Syria and Iraq, the government said on Friday, insisting national security was paramount.
The government will not block the return of the around 20 such Swiss men, women and children in the conflict zone, but will take no active measures to repatriate the adults, the cabinet said in a statement. Only children might get help to return, it added.
