(France 24) A young woman has been found guilty of planning a terrorist attack on French soil in 2016. Her accomplice, another young woman, has been found guilty of planning to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group.
The Paris Criminal Court sentenced a radicalised young woman — identified only as Janna C. — to seven years in prison on Wednesday. She was arrested in 2016, suspected of planning to carry out an attack in France on behalf of the jihadist Islamic State (IS) group.
Her lawyer, Léa Dordilly, argued that the punishment was too severe.
“We have been given a sentence of seven years in prison, which is extremely severe given the age of this girl, who was 18 when she started these activities online,” Dordilly told FRANCE 24 after the sentencing.
