Denmark Sentences Woman Three Years In Prison For Supporting ISIS In Syria
2022-11-20
[NPASyria] On Friday, a court in Copenhagen sentenced a Danish woman to three years behind bars for supporting Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Organization (ISIS) in Syria.

The 35-year-old Danish mother of five was sentenced on charges of "entering Syria and promoting the Islamic State (IS) group’s activities."

She "entered and resided in al-Raqqa district in Raqqa province and Deir al-Zour province in Syria," according to prosecutions.

Prosecution authority said in a statement she "was active in the terrorist organization."

Prosecutor, Trine Schjodt Fogh, said even if she had not participated in fighting with ISIS, she can "support the terrorist organization by shopping in its supermarkets, by taking care of the children, by being a housewife."

The Danish woman arrived in Syria eight years ago and resided in Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor.

Mette Gith Stage, lawyer of the Danish woman, said, "The last few years have been difficult for her, first in the caliphate, then in a prison camp and now in prison."

The lawyer noted that she "terribly" misses her children and "is eager for the case to end so that she and her children can move on."

In October 2021, Denmark repatriated three women and 14 children from Roj camp, northeastern Syria, in a joint operation with Germany.

Since then, the three women were arrested on their arrival in Denmark.

Denmark’s Foreign Minister, Jeppe Kofod, said his country was planning to repatriate children of the ISIS family members from northeast Syria without their mothers.

For political reasons, most Danish politicians take a hardline stance on Danish ISIS members and their families to appear "tough on terrorism."

The issue of ISIS members and the need to prosecute them, the situation in Hawl and Roj camps, and the need for the international community to assume its responsibilities regarding them are issues burdening the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES).

In a statement on Friday, The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned a "heinous killing" of two Egyptian girl children, whose bodies were found in "sewage ditch" at Hawl Camp east of Hasakah.

The office noted that such an incident serves as a "wake-up call to the international community" for speeding the processes of repatriations.
