What Australians with links to former IS fighters could face when they arrive
About this episode
Thirteen Australians with ties to former Islamic State fighters are due to arrive in Australia today after spending years stranded in Syria's Al-Roj detention camp.
The federal government says it has plans to manage and monitor the group of four women and nine children.
But it says it will not provide any assistance to the cohort - and they "can expect to face the full force of the law" when they arrive in Australia.
