(Brussels Times) Two women convicted for their affiliation with the Islamic State (IS) in Syria and sent to Belgium after fleeing a prisoners camp in the country have appealed their convictions.
The legal representatives of Fatima and Rahma B., two sisters aged 24 and 31, respectively, said on Friday they would appeal … the five-year prison sentence delivered against their clients in absentia, HLN reports.
Both women fled to Syria between 2013 and 2014, presumably to follow their husbands, who fought for the terror group in Syria, with one dead and the other also presumed killed.
