translated from Spanish: Seven Swedish-Chilean children caught in Syrian camp rescued

Juan Carlos Godoy, representative of the family Skråmo-González, reported that the seven Swedish-Chilean children who were trapped in a camp in Syria, were rescued in a secret operation. According to Godoy, the minors were rescued in a secret operation, “no one was informed and there is a record of photographs, and versions of the Swedish chancellery that are being transferred to Iraq”, where they can meet their grandfather, Patricio Gonzalez. The information has been disseminated by Swedish media. The representative indicated that they would initially go to Sweden, but it was possible that they would be brought to Chile at the request of the family. ON 24 April, the representatives and relatives of the children came to the palace of La Moneda to ask for their intervention to President Sebastián Piñera. The document noted that “it has been three weeks since Patricio González (grandfather of minors) was able to enter the camp of Al-Hol and meet his grandchildren for three hours, showing the deplorable state of health of the young.” In the text they specified that the doctors pointed out to González that the children had a life expectancy of only 15 days, because they suffered from a pulmonary infection and extreme malnutrition. The letter asked the President to respect the agreements reached with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in terms of extending the deadline for the efforts made with Sweden. They also asked Piñera to intercede, in the face of the risk of death of minors, “for humanitarian reasons before Sweden and the competent international organizations” to rescue the seven brothers, so that they can meet their relatives in Chile as soon Possible.
