A Danish woman evacuated from a Syrian detention camp last year was sentenced on Friday to three years in prison by a Danish court for aiding ISIS militants and illegally travelling to and residing in conflict zones, her lawyer said.

The 35-year-old woman travelled to Syria with her husband in 2013. When trying to escape ISIS’ so-called "caliphate" in 2018 with the help of human traffickers, they were captured by Kurdish forces, who sent her to the al-Roj detention camp in Kurdish-held territory in northeastern Syria due to their association with the terrorist group.
