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 Islamic State 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 Islamic State's 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 Islamic State.
The specifics of her escape was unclear. The woman was separated from her husband during the escape attempt, and it is unclear what happened to him.
