IS supporter in court: twin trips to the war zone!

IS supporter in court: twin trips to the war zone!

Al-Hol, Syrien - The judiciary faces a explosive negotiation in which a woman is accused of being joined the terrorist organization of Islamic State (IS). According to 5min , the accused lived with her husband between July 2015 and October 2017 in the Syrian war area and actively supported IS. Her process begins next week, where she has to answer for participation in a terrorist association and criminal organization. Before the presumption of innocence, it will nevertheless be considered innocent in court.

The indictment is based on her travels to the IS area: The first start was on July 9, 2015 when she flew from B to Syria to support her husband. After a failed first attempt to join IS, she returned on September 17, 2015. On June 19, 2016, she took another trip and illegally reached Syria via Turkey, where she lived in an apartment in the IS capital.

living conditions and support

During her time in the IS area, the accused supported her husband mentally and took over the budget. In May 2017 she gave birth to a son. IS is defined as a long -term merger that both conducts and financed terrorist attacks. His cruelty and practices, such as hostage frames and the exploitation of mineral resources, contributed to the destruction of the Syrian and Iraqi state.

In a related context, the situation in the Al-Hol-Camp in Northeast Syria describes more than 40,000 former IS supporters and their relatives. According to Süddeutsche there are catastrophic: diseases and hunger are widespread. The USA, which is essential for humanitarian support in these camps, recently stopped all payments, which led to a dramatic deterioration in the situation. Aid organizations had to hire their work and the situation is described as largely legal space.

The security situation is monitored by the Syrian democratic forces (SDF), which have contributed decisively to the defeat of IS in the past. Nevertheless, there are always reports on break -out attempts and potential radicalization of children in the camp. Experts warn that the withdrawal of US aids could endanger recovery and stability in the region in the long term.

future challenges

The warehouse manager criticized the international community for her lack of support. There are concerns about possible uprisings and a new radicalization of the occupants. Despite defeats, IS is still present and could get a new upward support in the shade of the lack of support. According to Tagesschau the fear of the recovery of IS in Northeast Syria is great.

The upcoming negotiations against the accused will therefore not only have personal implications, but also raise larger social and political questions that could influence the fate of many who could live in the shadow of IS.
