The woman (34) with five children was brought to Denmark in October. She is imprisoned, accused of terrorist support. She pleads guilty.

The mother who was picked up from a camp in Syria on Thursday in the Court in Esbjerg admitted criminal guilt for supporting a terrorist organization and illegal stay in Syria, reports the news agency Ritzau.

The woman’s defender, lawyer Mette Grith Stage, says that she acknowledges what she is accused of. She is charged with violation of the Penal Code § 114 e and § 114 j. According to the prosecution, she has supported IS and stayed in conflict zones in Syria without permission from the Danish authorities.

What else has emerged during the court hearing would not defend anything about, because the doors were closed for the sake of the police investigation, as she has come with a confession.

Thus, it is unknown what the IS woman has told about the period in Syria.

Further imprisonment

On Thursday, the court had to decide whether the woman should continue to be remanded in custody in the case, and whether she can be imprisoned under milder conditions than imprisonment. The lawyer has wished it could happen in a mother-child home. According to the defender, these are places you are exposed to if you have to investigate whether someone is suitable to be a parent.

However, requests for milder conditions of imprisonment were rejected.

The trial ended with the mother of five being jailed for another four weeks, until December 2nd. Although she will continue to be remanded in custody on normal terms, she has the opportunity to see her five children. As a prisoner, you have the right to visit once a week. The lawyer thinks “is not much” when you are a mother of five. But perhaps it should not even be questioned how suitable she is to be a parent and thus she should not have access to meet her own child either.

The ruling on custody has not been appealed to the Supreme Court.

Three women

The woman is one of three women from Syrian camps who landed on Danish soil the night before October 7, reports Ritzau. They were all arrested and have been produced in a so-called constitutional hearing in various parts of the country.

While the 34-year-old IS woman has been before the Court in Esbjerg, a 37-year-old woman on Monday agreed to a voluntary extension of the custody for four weeks, until 29 November.

The third woman will appear in court in the Court in Frederiksberg on Thursday afternoon.

However, we do not hear much about what happens to returned IS women to Norway.
