(NL Times) The Public Prosecution Service (OM) demanded prison sentences against a man and two women on Tuesday for participating in the terrorist organization ISIS, preparing terrorist crimes, and taking their minor children into a war zone. The OM demanded seven years in prison against the man and 48 months and 42 months against the women, who are both married to the man.

According to the OM, the suspects went to Syria in 2012 and 2013 and joined ISIS, also taking their children to the war zone. “In doing so, they deprived their children of a carefree childhood,” the prosecutor said. The suspects fled from the conflict zone to Turkey, where they were arrested at the end of 2022 and then deported to the Netherlands with their 13 children.
