The criminal chamber specialized in terrorist cases at the Tunis Court of First Instance sentenced a terrorist Tunisian, who returned from Syria and was involved with ISIS, to four years in prison. The court faced the woman, who is a mother-of-four, with charges of deliberately joining a terrorist group abroad and receiving training in the wake of her travel in 2013 to Syria along with her husband and kids. After arriving to Syria, she settled at a house in Idlib while her husband became a major leader in ISIS, before getting killed in 2014 during a battle. Upon the groups demand, she later got married to a younger leader before she decided to flee. She dealt with a smuggler in Syria who helped her run away in return for money. She passed the Syrian border, arrived in Turkey, and called the Tunisian embassy to surrender. She was deported to Tunisia and investigations were launched, while the grandfather kept the children. She told authorities that her husband asked her to travel with him to Libya for work so she agreed for the sake of their kids. She also said it was was a shock for her when he requested that she accompanies him to Turkey only to find herself in Syria with her husband in the ranks of ISIS. Lawyer Leila Haddad defended her and pointed out that she was a victim of her husband, stressing that she surrendered to the Tunisian embassy in Turkey and that she has no family. Haddad added that the four kids have no supporter but the old grandfather. Security and military expert Ali al-Zermaidin underpinned that it is essential that Tunisia revokes the nationality from Tunisian terrorists, warning that their return has a wide impact and constitutes huge risks on the national security.
