Birmingham: A 32-year-old Pakistani-British woman has been convicted of fleeing the country to join IS, saying it was wrong to travel to Syria to join Islamic State. ‘I’m sorry about that decision,’ she said. Tarina Shakil, a native of Birmingham, left the country in 2016 to join IS. The woman returned to the UK three months later and was later jailed. During the trial, it was found that Shakeel had promoted terrorist activities through social media.
After his release from prison, Shakil completed a de-radicalization program. Shakil said he was ashamed of his actions and lived with the consequences every day. Shakil, a health worker, secretly went to Syria in 2014 with his one-year-old son. He was then staying with other women waiting to marry the militants.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that with the increase in the use of drones, crime can be reduced
Shakil says they had to behave in a certain way there and those who did not behave in that way had their own consequences. Shakeel explained that the two girls who were with him were not ready to do such a thing and that they had never seen the men come and take them away in the van. Within three months, Shakil had fled Syria to Turkey and returned to the UK. The woman was later arrested, tried and jailed for six years.
‘I remember being really sad, that experience was really bitter. Really exploited and deceived. I’m really ashamed of myself for allowing that to happen. ‘ Said Shakil. Shock said de-radicalization was a “long journey” and hoped his case would warn young women of the dangers of terrorism.
