Mother, who has undergone, abuse and designed ten-year-old girls of brainwashing

A native of Kansa, who led a purely female battalion of the Islamic state when she lived in Syria, was sentenced to 20 years in prison, the highest possible punishment after her own children denounced her in court and described the terrible circumstances and ill -treatment that she overwhelmed her.

Allison Fluke-Ekren, 42, admitted that she led the Khatiba Nusaybah, a battalion in which about 100 women and girls-some only 10 years old-learned to deal with automatic weapons and ignition grenades and explosives.

One of Fluke-Ekren's daughters was one of those who said they received such an apprenticeship. The daughter and the eldest son of Fluke-Ekren, who have grown up, both asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence.

They stated that they were physically and sexually abused by their mother, and described the abuse in detail in letters to the court. Fluke-Ekren contested abuse.

The daughter, Ekren, said Leyla, said that "greed after control and power" her mother drove the family around half the world to find a group of terrorists that would allow Fluke-Ekren to thrive during a statement about the effects of the victim that she made at the hearing.

She said her mother had become cleverly in hiding the abuse she committed. She described a circumstance in which her mother poured her as a punishment a lice of other manufacturers all over her face and it started to cover her face with bubbles and burn her eyes. Fluke-Ekren then tried to wash the chemicals from the face of her daughters, but Leyla Escrene opposed.

"I wanted people to see what kind of person she is. I wanted it to dazzle me," she said when her mother was sitting a few meters away and putting her head on her hand with an incredulous view. After her children testified, she stared in her direction.

Fluke-Eekren's status as a woman born in the USA, who is leading to a leadership position in the Islamic State, makes her history unique among the terrorist cases. Prosecutors say that the abuse that she inflicted on her children at a young age explains how to get away from a 33 hectare farm in Overbrook, Kansas, to a leader of the Islamic State in Syria, with stations in Egypt and Libya.

The first deputy US prosecutor Raj Parekh said that Fluke-Ekren's family sent her to an elite private school in Topeka and grew up in a stable home. Parekh said that the immediate family of Fluke-Ekren agreed to see it as far as possible to see it, a fact that the experienced prosecutor described as extremely rarely.

"There is nothing in Fluke-Ekren's background that could explain their behavior that was driven by fanaticism, power, manipulation, delusional invincibility and extreme cruelty," said Parekh.

Fluke-Ekren only called for a two-year prison sentence so that she could raise her little children. At the beginning of a long, wine -minded speech, she said that she took responsibility for her actions before rationalizing her behavior and playing down.

"We just lived a normal life," she told the judge of her time in Syria and showed pictures of her children in a weekly pizza meal.

She denied the allegations of abuse and tried to accuse her eldest son of manipulating her daughter to make her.

It portrayed the Khatiba Nusaybah more as a community center for women that turned into a number of self -defense courses, when it became clear that the city of Raqqa, the stronghold of the Islamic state in which it lived, was exposed to an invasion.

She admitted that women and girls were taught to deal with suicide belts and automatic weapons, but this was a security training in order to avoid accidents in a war zone in which such weapons were common.

Judge Leonie Brinkema, however, made it clear that she was unimpressed by Fluke-Ekren's justifications. At one point, Fluke-Ekren explained the need for women to defend themselves against the possibility of rape by enemy soldiers. "Sexual violence is not in order under any circumstances," she said.

Brinkema interrupted Fluke-Ekren to ask her about the daughter's claim that she was forced to marry a fighter of the Islamic State, who raped her at the age of 13.

"She was away from 14 for a few weeks," replied Fluke-Ekren protesting and later said: "It was her decision. I never forced her."

Parekh described Fluke-Ekren as the “Empress of IS”, whose husbands climbed into higher ranks in the Islamic state and were often killed in combat.

Even within the Islamic state, people who knew Fluke-Kren, their radicalization as "extraordinary", and other terrorist groups rejected their plans to form a women's battalion until they finally found a buyer in the Islamic State, Parekh.

said

Fluke-Ekren's "added a new dimension to the darkest side of humanity," said Parekh.

In addition to the formation of the battalion, Fluke-Eirkren admitted that while living in Libya, she helped to translate, check and summarize documents that come from diplomatic facilities in the USA after the 2012 terrorist attack.
