She has been called a Swedish IS witch who spreads terror around her. Fatosh Ibrahim, 35, is now being sentenced for war crimes in Syria and threats in Sweden. The sentence was three months in prison. A woman in western Sweden, under the name Umm Fidah, who called herself a witch on social media spread terror around her and was reported to the police for threats several times. It turned out that the same woman was a returnee from the terrorist sect IS. She was later identified as Fatosh Ibrahim, which was her real name. Documents that TV4 Nyheterna had previously been able to reveal showed that she was an active member of the so-called al-Khansaa brigade, which heavily armed patrolled in Raqqa in Syria, among other places, and punished women who violated strict, Islamist laws. – There are quite horrible testimonies from people who were exposed to this group. There are testimonies of a woman who has been seen breastfeeding in public, who has subsequently been tortured and so on. So it was very brutal and it was in accordance with the brutality that IS actually displayed, said Filip Ahlin, terrorism expert at the University of Defense, earlier. Spread pictures of severed heads Since 2017, Fatosh Ibrahim is back in Sweden. And during her time in Sweden, she has built up 13 thousand followers and pretended to be a witch, which TV4 Nyheterna previously reported on. When the verdict was announced today at the Gothenburg district court, Fatosh Ibrahim was convicted of two counts of threatening a civil servant, gross slander and assault against a civil servant in Sweden. She was also convicted of war crimes in Syria. The latter crime concerns that the IS witch had on two occasions published pictures of the mutilated bodies of soldiers at a roundabout in central Raqqa. Severed heads had been impaled on the fence around the site. Fatosh Ibrahim wrote the comments and “expressed that they deserved what they were subjected to”. The Gothenburg District Court writes: “The publication of the images together with the derogatory comments has been considered to constitute derogatory treatment which was intended to seriously violate the personal dignity of protected persons according to the penal provision on war crimes. The woman had clearly expressed her sympathy with the actions of IS and her actions have been considered to be in connection with the armed conflict that was going on in the area at the time.”
