Humanitarian groups worried north-east Syrian camps holding suspected IS members will lose basic facilities
Blumont, a Virginia-based humanitarian aid group responsible for the management of two of Syria’s IS detention camps, al-Hol and al-Roj, was given a stop-work order on 24 January by the US state department.
The camp holds the relatives of suspected IS fighters and is mostly populated by women and children. Rights groups have for years warned that detainees are held arbitrarily without charges in inhumane and substandard living conditions.
No charges have been raised against the camp’s population. Despite this, they are unable to leave, with the exception of non-Syrian detainees whose countries agree to take them back.

Interesting. AP leaves out the word "alleged" from the title and mentions it later in the article.
Associated Propaganda doing a bang on job of lying even harder than TheGuardian.
