Hodan Abby, the last remaining Australian woman associated with the Islamic State group in Syria, is set to return to Australia. Her repatriation follows approvals granted by authorities, bringing an end to her time in Syrian detention camps. However, Abby will be subject to extensive and intrusive surveillance measures upon her arrival in Australia. Details regarding the specific nature of this monitoring have not been fully disclosed, but officials indicate it will be significant. The decision to allow her return balances national security concerns with obligations to citizens. This case marks the conclusion of a complex process involving the repatriation of Australians linked to IS from Syria and Iraq.
