flag An Austrian court has convicted 28-year-old Maria G., repatriated from a Syrian detention camp, of joining the Daesh terrorist group, sentencing her to a two-year suspended jail term after she pleaded guilty. flag She admitted to joining Daesh in 2014 and marrying a deceased fighter, with whom she had two children. flag The court found no evidence of further crimes and ordered her to undergo psychological counseling and de-radicalization. flag The verdict, which is final, follows her return to Austria in March with her sons, a decision based on the children’s best interests despite initial foreign ministry opposition. flag Her case is part of a broader European trend, with Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands also repatriating family members of Daesh fighters, many of whom face terrorism charges upon return.
