(AFP) The first woman to be brought home from Syria to stand trial in the Netherlands received a three-and-a-half-year prison term on Wednesday for joining the Islamic State group.
The 28-year-old, identified only as Ilham B., was repatriated last year from the Al-Roj detention camp in northeast Syria after she joined the IS and Jabhat al Nusra jihadist groups with her husband in 2013.
Rotterdam District Court said Ilham B. “is sentenced to 42 months in jail of which 12 suspended, for taking part in terrorist organisations and preparing various crimes.”
“The court is satisfied she participated in Syria in the Islamic State and Jabhat al Nusra terrorist organisations,” it said in a statement.
