US EditionFrench court jails three women who joined the Islamic State group in Syria
Jennyfer Clain was sentenced to 11 years, Mayalen Duhart to 10 years, and Christine Allain to 13 years for joining the Islamic State in Syria, court records show.
- A French court on Friday sentenced Jennyfer Clain, 34, niece of Jean-Michel and Fabien Clain, to 11 years for belonging to the Islamic State in Syria; the three women received sentences up to 13 years.
- Jean-Michel Clain and Fabien Clain claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks on November 13, 2015, which killed 130 people; they are presumed dead after the 2019 defeat of IS by US-backed Kurdish groups.
- Clain apologised to direct and indirect victims, saying `I am sorry for everything they have been through because of me`, and weeping, asked her five children in foster care since 2019 for forgiveness.
- Guillaume Halbique, Jennyfer Clain's lawyer, welcomed the `balanced` verdict and said she was unlikely to appeal, adding her ideological commitment to IS is behind her.
- Mayalen Duhart, 42, said `I am not a victim` and insisted 'the victims are the others', while the presiding judge earlier this week noted the three women had not addressed the victims; Duhart brought her four children and had a baby who died at seven months.
