Koblenz (dpa / lrs) - The Koblenz Public Prosecutor's Office wants to take a closer look at the judgment against the first woman to return to IS from Rhineland-Palatinate and has therefore appealed.

The oral judgment was "not so convincing," said Attorney General Jürgen Brauer.

Therefore, in the future written judgment, it should be checked whether the imposed two-year suspended sentence is “soundly founded” (Az. 4 StE 6 OJs 9/19).

The revision period ended on Thursday (March 11th) at midnight.

The attorney general's office had spoken out in favor of three years imprisonment.

The defense had demanded a sentence for the IS returnees that would mean the end of her time behind bars.

According to its own statements, the defense waived appeal.

"We are very satisfied with the verdict," said the lawyer Serkan Alkan.

The competent state security senate of the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Koblenz had it "very well justified".

The 30-year-old German returnees was actually able to leave the courtroom without handcuffs on March 4th after a year of pre-trial detention.

She had received her suspended sentence for membership in a foreign terrorist organization.

According to the OLG, the mother of three children belonged to the Islamic State (IS) terrorist militia from September 2014 to January 2019.

The young woman had traveled pregnant from Idar-Oberstein via Turkey to Syria, a country of civil war.

According to the OLG, she was married to four IS fighters one after the other.

Three died in combat.

The woman had spread the IS ideology via social media, asked to emigrate to the caliphate proclaimed by the terrorist militia, justified the IS atrocities and approved the killing of infidels.

The 30-year-old was arrested by Kurdish forces in Syria at the beginning of 2019 and deported from Turkey to Germany in January 2020.

During her pre-trial detention, she was very rarely able to see her three foster children.
