ISIS supporter posted photos of herself with severed heads impaled on spikes

A 35-year-old ISIS supporter has been found guilty of war crimes after she posted photos from Syria of herself with severed heads on Facebook in 2014.

The Goteborg District Court in Sweden sentenced Fatosh Ibrahim, who pleaded not guilty, to three months in prison.

The court said on two occasions she published photographs of severed heads impaled on the fence that were placed there by so-called Islamic State militants in Raqqa.

Ibrahim used her cell phone to take photos of herself in Raqqa’s Naim Square where the militants had displayed hanged bodies or heads.

“There [Raqqa] the women had no rights but had to do as the men said. I posted the pictures on Facebook, I don’t know what I was thinking. I was war wounded. It was very common to see dead bodies in Raqqa,” Ibrahim said in court.

The court said in its ruling that she posted “disparaging comments about the people in the photos and expressed that they deserved what they were subjected to” on Facebook.

The ruling continued: “The woman had clearly expressed her sympathy with the actions of the Islamic State group, and her actions have been considered to be in connection with the armed conflict that was going on in the area at the time.”

Ibrahim is one of three siblings from Gothenburg, on Sweden’s west coast, who all belonged to the Islamic State and later returned home, according to the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

It reports that her brother Hassan Al-Mandlawi was sentenced to life in prison for terrorism offences, while her younger sister died after she had returned to Sweden with her shrapnel-injured daughter.

And the sister’s son died at the age of three when he was playing with a hand grenade that detonated.

Ibrahim told the court that she travelled to Syria in December 2012 and was forced to stay, claiming she didn’t travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group.

Ibrahim said: “I was permanently employed as a welder. My brother wanted me to go to Syria and visit. Then I got stuck there and couldn’t travel home. That was in 2012 and IS came in 2013.”

The publication claims that her first husband was British-Pakistani militant Ibrahim Almazwagi, 21, the Hertfordshire University graduate who died in 2013.

Her last husband is currently imprisoned in Australia.
