The criminal department specialized in examining terrorism cases at the Court of First Instance in Tunis recently issued a two-year prison sentence with a postponement of execution and one year’s administrative supervision against a girl in her twenties who was accused of communicating with terrorist elements in Chambi and an ISIS leader in Syria who asked her to travel to Syria to marry her.

During her court session, the accused revealed that she had actually contacted a young man to marry him without knowing that he was a fighter of the Okba Ibn Nafaâ Brigade.

The accused indicated that when she later learned his truth, she closed her account and then created a new electronic account through which she met a second young man, and that her goal was to marry only to get out of the isolation she lives in her home.
