Indonesia says it is midway through a month-long deradicalisation of 75 people who were deported from Turkey for attempting to join the Islamic State group.

Social Affairs Minister Khofifah Indar Parawansa said the children of the alleged IS recruits needed special attention.

"We have an ongoing therapy process. Some of them are still traumatised by the arrests, and when they were in jail in Turkey."

I wonder exactly how Indonesian authorities deradicalise individuals. With large sticks?

Mr Suhardi said that Indonesian authorities were still trying to decipher the background of the returnees.
"These people were the ones who managed to get to Turkey, but then once they got there they had to return because they couldn't enter Syria, they got deported across the Turkish border," he said.

So are these Indonesians who Turkey has returned, or is Indonesia volunteering to take other foreign nationals in for "deradicalization"? And is it normal for men going to join ISIS to bring their wife and 2 kids?
