Happy new year from all at ICCT! 2019 saw the continued aftermath of the fall of the caliphate, the (attempted) returns and prosecutions of FTFs, and the persistent rise of right-wing extremist attacks in the West. Take a look back at 2019 through some of this year's research!
With the end of the caliphate came the detention of #ISIS fighters, supporters, and innocent civilians alike in camps like #alHol and #AinIssa; @GinaAVale of @ICSR_Centre and @warstudies analysed the role of IS-affiliated women in these camps and beyond. icct.nl/publication/wo…
During the caliphate, ISIS specifically targeted children and adolescents, combining religious indoctrination and weapons training to mould them into child soldiers. @janilkiz provided recommendations for the psychosocial care for these ex-child soldiers.
