(Radio France) Three French women — members of the Clain family who converted to fundamentalist Islam and travelled to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State armed group — go on trial Monday in Paris on charges of terrorist criminal association.
Among the defendants is Jennyfer Clain, 34, the niece of Jean-Michel and Fabien Clain, two prominent figures of the Islamic State (IS) who were known for having recorded the claim of responsibility for the 13 November terrorist attacks in Paris.
Both were sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole, and were killed in an airstrike in 2019.
Appearing with her are her sister-in-law, Mayalen Duhart, and Christine Allain, the mother of their two husbands and the grandmother of their nine children.
