- An Australian woman rescued from a squalid Syrian detention camp was due to face court on Friday on charges linked to her former husband’s role within the Islamic State group.
The women were in most cases the wives of vanquished IS fighters, who said they were forced or tricked into following their husbands to Syria. Raad has been charged with travelling to parts of Syria that were controlled by IS – a crime under Australian law – and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Zahab, a former math teacher in Sydney, was believed to have been killed in an airstrike in 2018, Australian Federal Police said.It was the first in a series of planned missions to bring back about 20 Australian women and 40 children, who have been detained in Kurdish-controlled northeastern Syria since the 2019 collapse of the IS “caliphate”.
