(SBS) IS bride Zehra Duman is currently in a Turkish prison and believed to be under investigation by Turkish authorities.
Her four-year-old son and one-year-old daughter are being held at a child protection centre in the Turkish border province of Şanlıurfa where they have been since 17 July, according to a document from the local Family Labour and Social Services Provincial Directorate seen by SBS News.
The Turkish lawyer representing Duman has also confirmed to SBS News she is in a Şanlıurfa jail under investigation. The lawyer said DNA analysis was being undertaken by Turkish authorities to confirm the parentage of her children.
Duman, 26, launched legal action in the Australian High Court earlier this year challenging the revocation of her Australian citizenship. She was notified that her Australian citizenship had been cancelled in July 2019.
