A woman who was convicted of human trafficking of her two daughters and aiding and abetting a large number of serious rapes against one of the daughters of the terrorist movement IS is appealing to the Svea Court of Appeal.
According to the district court, the woman was guilty of human trafficking by transporting one of her daughters to Syria in 2014-2015, and then housed both of her daughters there. According to the court, the purpose was to live in an Islamic state under IS rule and that meant that the daughters, who were then ten years old, would marry and start a family.
The woman who was sentenced to prison for six years and ten months by the Solna district court now wants to be fully acquitted.
A Swedish IS man was sentenced for subjecting one of the woman’s daughters, whom he also married, to a number of serious rapes. The penalty for him was imprisonment for eight years and ten months. He is also appealing to the Court of Appeal and wants to be acquitted.
The prosecution is also appealing. Among other things, they want both the woman and the man to receive longer sentences.
