(NL Times) A woman convicted for belonging to the terrorist organization Islamic State worked for the Dutch refugee council Vluchtelingenwerk Nederland for a year. The 39-year-old woman volunteered as a legal assistant at the organization and had access to refugees’ personal files, NOS reports after speaking to the woman, who asked to remain anonymous.
In 2019, the court in Rotterdam sentenced her to 30 months in prison, of which 10 months were conditionally suspended, convicting her of traveling to Baghdad in 2015 to join ISIS. Her brother’s phone had pictures of her posing next to the ISIS flag and holding a Kalashnikov. The judge held against her that she did not “unequivocally distance herself” from ISIS.
