5 Canadian children in detention camp in Syria, mothers denied Canadian entry.

Five Canadian children are languishing in a detention camp in northeastern Syria after Ottawa denied their mothers permission to come to Canada, according to a lawyer fighting in court on their behalf.

The lawyer, Asiya Hirji, is seeking a Federal Court review of Canada's permit denial decision.
