Widowed, Imprisoned, Detained: Remnants Of Islamic State In Limbo In Syria

Prisons and detention camps in northeastern Syria hold thousands of men, women and children whose lives are in limbo nearly a year after the capitulation of Islamic State militants in the region. Many of the detainees are suspected of being members of the group, whose fighters tortured and executed thousands of people during its zenith from 2014. What to do with them is a thorny issue for countries whose citizens went to fight with the group. Reuters photographer Goran Tomasevic captured this collection of photos taken in January 2020.
