(Brussels Times) An Antwerp court has stripped an Islamic State supporter of her Belgian nationality and sentenced her to five years in prison.
The 32-year-old woman, identified as Rahma B., was also fined €8,000 as part of her conviction for participating in the activities of a terrorist organisation.
In the aftermath of Turkey’s military incursion into northern Syria in November, Rahma B. fled to Turkey where authorities handed her over to Belgium after she turned herself in.
She arrived in Zaventem airport in November 2019 and was immediately transferred to a prison in Bruges.
During her time in Syria, she reportedly lost two husbands and three children in attacks and now has to use crutches to move around, La Libre reports.
