(Yle) A journalist writing on Twitter on Wednesday said that he had encountered a Finnish woman living in an area in Syria controlled by the extremist organisation Islamic State.
Kurdish affairs analyst and journalist Mutlu Civiroglu tweeted that the woman came to Syria four years ago, lived in several different cities and married twice. He added that she had a 13-year-old daughter, who was also married.
Civiroglu claimed that the woman said she wanted to return to Finland because life here is easier and that she wanted to live as a Muslim in Finland.
The US 24-hour news channel CNN also reported on a Finnish woman who had lived in Islamic State-controlled areas in Syria and wanted to return to Finland.
