(MENAFN) An American woman who became a member of Daesh in Syria, leading an all-female military battalion, was punished 20 years in jail by a US court on Tuesday.
Allison Fluke-Ekren, 42, who lived in a farm in Kansas, was punished in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, after giving material support to a terrorist group.
Prosecutors informed the court that for over eight years, Fluke-Ekren “committed terrorist acts on behalf of three foreign terrorist organizations across war zones in Libya, Iraq, and Syria,” as well as training other women and young girls to undertake invasions for Daesh.
Fluke Ekren “in effect became the empress of Daesh,” on the words of US lawyer Raj Parekh. “She brainwashed young girls and trained them to kill,” he added.
The punishing stage of her case comprised dramatic, nameless testimony from one of her sons regarding years of abuse imposed on him and his brothers.
“My mother is a monster without love for her children, without an excuse for her actions,” as declared by the son. “She has the blood, pain, and suffering of all of her children on her hands.”
