  • Inside Dr Jamal Rifi's mission to bring 'ISIS brides' and children home
    Feb 25 2026

    Jamal Rifi is the Sydney doctor at the centre of a controversial mission to repatriate the so-called ISIS brides – 34 Australian women and children who are living in a camp in Syria.

    He also wants to bring back a young man who was taken to Syria as a boy who is now in an adult men’s prison.

    The women travelled to Syria and were married to jihadists, who are now dead or in jail. When Islamic State's so-called caliphate fell, they were put in detention camps. For seven years they have lived in no man’s land, trying to return home to Australia.

    Dr Rifi, a medical doctor and friend of Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, speaks to senior writer Michael Bachelard for this special episode of The Morning Edition.

    Today, crime reporter Riley Walter on a case that has gripped Sydney.
