Frenchwoman sentenced to 10 years for terrorist conspiracy

(AFP) The second Frenchwoman to be repatriated from Syrian camps holding Islamic State (IS) members and displaced people was on Thursday sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Carole Sun, 30, was found guilty of participating in a terrorist criminal conspiracy by a special criminal court in Paris.

She left France for Syria in July 2014 with her brother and was arrested by Kurdish forces in December 2017, when the IS self-styled caliphate was collapsing.
