(Brussels Times) The Brussels correctional court has sentenced two widows of members of the Islamic State terrorist organisation to four years and 40 months in prison.
On Wednesday, a Brussels judge in summary proceedings ruled that the Belgian state had to provide assistance and documents to one of the women’s four children, who are staying in the Al-Hol refugee camp in Syria, to enable them to return to Belgium. The government has announced on Thursday that it will probably appeal against this decision, reports Het Nieuwsblad.
The Antwerp women, Nora Baghouri (28) and Kaoutar El Azzouzi (29), went to Syria in April 2013 to follow their husbands, who were both members of the Islamic State terrorist organisation.
