来自纽约布鲁克林的27岁美国公民Halima Salman周二被联邦陪审团裁定接受极端组织“伊斯兰国”(IS)武器训练罪名成立,该案定于2月2日进行量刑听证,被告最高面临10年监禁 123。Salman辩称其父亲在她17岁时将她带至叙利亚并安排她与一名IS战士结婚,她是被迫参与相关活动的受害者 13。检方出示了包括手持突击步枪视频、与IS旗帜合影以及发给丈夫的亲密短信在内的多项证据,证明其自愿效忠该组织并接受军事训练 1。
事件背景显示,Salman的父亲于2017年将其带至叙利亚,她在2019年Baghuz地区冲突期间被反IS部队拘留,随后于2024年返回纽约后遭到逮捕 1。此次审判由布鲁克林地区联邦检察官Joseph Nocella Jr.及助理联邦检察官Amanda Shami主导 1。
Halima Salman, a 27-year-old woman from Brooklyn, was convicted by a jury of receiving weapons training from the Islamic State (IS) in Syria 13. The verdict carries a potential sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison, with sentencing scheduled for February 2 1. The case was prosecuted by Joseph Nocella Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Shami 1.
Salman’s defense argued that she was a victim who had been coerced into extremist activities after her father brought her to Syria at age 17 in 2017 and arranged her marriage to an IS fighter 13. However, prosecutors presented evidence indicating that Salman voluntarily pledged allegiance to the group and participated in military training 1. This evidence included video footage of Salman holding an assault rifle, photographs of her posing next to IS flags, and intimate text messages sent to her husband 1.
The background of the case reveals that Salman was detained by anti-IS forces in Baghuz in 2019 1. She returned to New York City in 2024, where she was arrested, leading to the trial and subsequent conviction 1. Multiple media outlets, including AP News, Fox News, and The New York Times, reported on the judicial outcome 2.
