Finland's finance minister Katri Kulmuni posted an informal poll on whether the government should allow Finnish women with links to ISIS to return from Syria, or just their children.

HELSINKI - Finland's finance minister deleted an Instagram post and issued an apology on Friday after criticism by a human rights group that embarrassed the new, women-led government days after it took office.

"Seriously, Finland? This is awful, if true," Andrew Stroehlein, the European media director of international watchdog Human Rights Watch, wrote on Twitter on Thursday. "My aim to have a discussion on social media about a complicated topic failed. I apologise for the poll," Kulmuni tweeted on Friday."My IG poll aroused condemnation, it has been removed. The style was unsuccessful."
