Only 10 days ago I had caesarean delivery but I must share this story:

Today in Hamburg starts 2nd trial against Omaima Abdi, German/Tunisian ISIS woman whose Syria phone I found.

Last yr she got 3.5 yrs jail. Now accused of aiding in the enslavement of 2 Yazidi girls.

@akhbar
في ألمانيا اليوم تبدأ محاكمة ثانية ضد أميمة عبدي، السيدة الألمانية التونسية التي نشرت محتوى هاتفها الذي كان معها عندما كانت مع داعش في سوريا.

العام الماضي حكم عليها بالسجن 3.5 سنوات. هي الآن متهمة بالمساعدة في سبي فتاتين أيزيديتين.

هذا ما يجب ان تعرفوه

Controversy in #Denmark. Government wants to get rid of Syrian refugees &is offering cash if they leave Denmark. 100+ Syrian families took offer & left. Others fear for their safety in case they go back to Syria. I spoke to worried Syrians in Denmark who refuse to leave. @akhbar
Syrians I spoke to said: Danish gov offers Syrian family of 5 around $50.000 if they leave Denmark. And if you leave, Danish gov will pay child support until kids are 18 yrs. Families don't necessarily have to go back to Syria. "As long as you leave Denmark, they give money."
But although Danish gov gives financial incentives to Syrian refugees to leave, many don't want to. Main reasons I heard is that Syrians fear they are wanted in Syrian government areas. And many are already 5/6 yrs in Denmark, they want to build future there, not pack bags again.

On my weekly show on @akhbar we talked about females doing "male" jobs. I had 2 very interesting guests. Rana - Lebanon's first female car mechanic. And Nayla - the only female taxidriver in Gaza. Such inspiring ladies ♥️
Favorite car of Nayla - the only female taxi driver from Gaza- is a BMW. She works to support her family &kids. Her family was first against her doing "male" job. Nayla only drives female customers. "Most are happy to be chauffeured by a woman instead of man", she says.

@akhbar
According to Nayla, male taxi drivers in Gaza sometimes block her road because they don't like that a female works as taxi driver. "I don't care," she says, "I push my car until I am through."

Nayla is new on Instagram. You can follow her here 👇

1/ Guilty or not? I discuss the arrest in France of Islam Alloush, ex-spokesman of Syrian rebel group Jaish al-Islam, accused of human rights violations. His brother @DrNehma says he is innocent. @Aous_Al_mubarak +Anas Al Khawli insist he is guilty. Thread
2/ Context: Islam Alloush was spokesman of Jaish al Islam, Islamist opposition group in Ghouta. After group lost Ghouta to Syrian gov, Alloush got French visa to study there. Opposition activists recognized him in France & said he is guilty of human rights violations in Ghouta.
3/ Although in a French jail now for over a year, the twitter account of Islam Alloush (whose real name is Majdi Nehma) still functions. It is: @MajdiNema. His family uses the account @Majdifamily to campaign for his release.

1/ I again traced ISIS files in Syria.

800 docs mainly on AlFateheen unit.

100s of forms with jihadi names, position in ISIS etc.

5 Germans, Aussies, Turks, 100s of Syrians.

As there is no tribunal, I put all files online so world has access.

@akhbar

2/ Here my report for @akhbar on the new ISIS files I discovered in Syria.

It gives information on Al-Fateheen unit. 800+ documents with many Jihadi names of ISIS members. Also in which battle they participated, how much salary & war spoils they got.
3/ These new ISIS files were left behind by ISIS when they fled. They were saved by citizens. I held originals in my hand and photographed them. Docs were filled out by ISIS fighters from Germany, Australia, France, Indonesia, Russia, Turkey etc, incl 100s of Syrian ISIS members.

1/This story has come to an end.

In 2018 I got Syria phone of German #ISIS woman Omaima Abdi. By then, she quietly had returned to Hamburg &picked up her life.

But pics on phone were used by German authorities to start a trial. Today she received 3,5 yrs jail sentence.

@akhbar
2/ To recap:

ISIS woman Omaima Abdi was sentenced today in Hamburg to 3 years and 6 months in jail on 4 counts:

1- Membership of a terrorist organization.
2- Neglecting her duties as a parent.
3- Possessing illegal firearms
4- Aiding and abetting the slavery of a Yazidi girl.
3/ While inside the Hamburg courtroom #ISIS woman Omaima Abdi was sentenced to 3.5 years, outside a handful of anti-ISIS demonstrators carried posters. On it slogans such as: "Women also can be culprits" and "Protect the victims".

1/ Big day in Hamburg, Germany.

Trial of #ISIS woman Omaima Abdi, whose phone content I found in Syria, ends today. The verdict is expected this morning. The trial started after I broke the story.

This is the court building in Hamburg where it's all happening today.

@akhbar
2/ Just to recap:

I published the story on the telephone content of #ISIS female Omaima Abdi in April 2019.

She then was arrested by German authorities in September.

Trial against Abdi started in May 2020.

The prosecutor asks for 4 yrs 10 months. Today verdict.

@akhbar
3/ On this last day of the trial of ISIS woman Omaima Abdi in Hamburg, there is a lot of media attention for the story. In the courtroom ZDF, DPA etc.

I will be updating you today step by step.
