Repatriating Canadians who left to join ISIS - a podcast by CBC Radio

A five-year-old Canadian girl known as Amira has been repatriated to Canada from a Syrian refugee camp — where she ended up after her parents, believed to be ISIS members, were killed. The federal government says hers is an “exceptional case,” but it raises questions about the other Canadians left behind in Syria, and whether they can safely be brought back. Matt Galloway speaks to Lawrence Greenspon, lawyer for Amira's uncle, Farida Deif, Canada director at Human Rights Watch, and Phil Gurski, a former CSIS strategic analyst.
