Three French women - members of the Clain family who converted to fundamentalist Islam and travelled to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamic State armed group - go on trial Monday in Paris on charges of terrorist criminal association.

Among the defendants is Jennyfer Clain, 34, the niece of Jean-Michel and Fabien Clain, two prominent figures of the Islamic State (IS) who were known for having recorded the claim of responsibility for the 13 November terrorist attacks in Paris.
