General Info:
Olima Kamolova is a Tajik woman who was sentenced to twelve years in prison for fighting alongside Islamic Sate (ISIS) terrorists in Afghanistan in 2015.
She is guilty of taking part in the Afghan war in an area of Afghan territory that was at the time under the control of an affiliate of the terrorist group.
Kamolova has pleaded not guilty, saying she was pregnant twice while in Afghanistan, and that she would be unable to take part in any military operations there.
She insisted that her late husband Parviz Sangov brought her to Afghanistan and kept her there against her will before he was killed near the eastern city of Jalalabad.
Kamolova was detained by the Afghanistan‘s government forces before being repatriate along with her children earlier this year after she appealed to Tajikistan‘s authorities in January.
But she was arrested in Tajikistan in July and charged with taking part in a military conflict abroad (which is a crime in the Central Asian nation).
