Islamism - State protection proceedings against suspected IS returnee

The state protection proceedings against a suspected IS returnee begin at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court on Monday (11.00 a.m.). The 31-year-old German-Algerian national is alleged to have participated as a member of the terrorist organizations Junud al-Sham and Islamic State (IS) between May 2013 and September 2017.

The federal prosecutor's office assumes that the accused traveled to Syria with her then husband, who was only a few months old at the time, from May 2013 in order to become a member of Junud al-Sham. In February 2014, the couple joined IS. The accused is said to have initially supported other IS members from Turkey together with her husband. She later returned to Syria with her husband, an IS fighter, and moved to Rakka. She had received a semi-automatic firearm from her husband and had been trained in its use.

Shortly after the birth of their second child, the husband died in September 2015. At the end of 2015, the accused married a wounded IS fighter according to Islamic rites and gave birth to another child in September 2017. After the second husband left the accused, she allegedly tried to return to Germany via Turkey.

On March 1, 2018, the accused returned to Germany via Ankara and initially lived in Bonn. In September 2022, she moved to Kiel with her children. The accused has been in custody since June 20, 2023. In addition to membership of two terrorist organizations, the Federal Public Prosecutor General accuses her of a war crime against property, violation of the duty of care or upbringing and a violation of the War Weapons Control Act.
