(Deutsche Welle) A 32-year-old German woman on Friday was sentenced to five years in prison for being a member of the “Islamic State” (IS) terrorist organization.
Sabine S. converted to Islam and moved to Syria and Iraq from the end of 2013 to August 2017 to live under IS rule, a court in the southwestern city of Stuttgart heard.
She was arrested in mid-2018, after returning to Germany, and charged with joining a foreign terrorist group.
Prosecutors said the woman had married an IS fighter, who was previously unknown to her, shortly after her arrival in Syria.
She then lived with him in houses seized by the group. He was subsequently killed in the fighting.
