AS IT IS 2016-02-03 British Woman in Prison for Taking Her Baby to Raqqa 一名英国女人携孩子前往叙利亚加入IS被判6年监禁
A British woman who took her child to Syria and joined the Islamic State has been sentenced to six years in prison.
A British court ruled Tareena Shakil guilty of membership1 in the Islamic State terror2 group. It also convicted3 her of encouraging acts of terrorism.
In October 2014, she and her 1-year-old son flew to Turkey. She told her family she was going on a beach vacation. She crossed the border into Syria and went to Raqqa, a city that IS controls.
Three months later, she fled the terror group. She turned herself in to the Turkish military. She was returned to Britain and arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport in February 2015.
Shakil denied that she joined the Islamist group. She said she wanted to live under Islamic law and did not support terrorism.
But prosecutors5 said photographs on her phone showed her holding weapons. They said the pictures also showed her son wearing a hat with an Islamic State symbol.
Judge Melbourne Inman sentenced Shakil. He told her, “You were well aware that the future, which you had subjected your son to was very likely to be indoctrination and thereafter6 life as a terrorist7 fighter.''
