Fatosh Ibrahim has been accused of sharing pictures of dead and mutilated bodies during her time in Syria. The Gothenburg district court has now sentenced her to three months in prison for war crimes in the Syrian city of Raqqa in 2014.
According to the verdict, Fatosh Ibrahim posed next to desecrated bodies placed by the terrorist group IS in the Syrian city of Raqqa in 2014. She also published the images on social media with offensive comments, the verdict states.
“In her posts, the woman wrote disparaging comments about the people in the pictures and expressed that they deserved what they were subjected to,” the district court writes in a press release.
According to the district court, Fatosh Ibrahim “clearly expressed his sympathy with the actions of IS.” In addition to prison, she was also sentenced for threatening an official and gross defamation.
Fatosh Ibrahim lived in the Gothenburg suburb of Angered before she traveled to Syria in December 2012, aged 25, where her brother Hassan al-Mandlawi had already joined a jihadist group. Two years later, their little sister also traveled there.
She herself claims that she did not travel to Syria to join IS, but stayed behind and returned to Sweden in 2017.
“Umm Fidah,” as Fatosh Ibrahim is called there, married the British-Palestinian terrorist Ibrahim Almazwagi, who fights with Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar – the jihadist group that is later labeled a terrorist by, among others, the United States. They had a child together, but the husband was shot dead before the child was born.
In 2015, Fatosh Ibrahim’s brother was sentenced to life in prison for terrorist crimes in a Swedish court, after the police found a film that showed how he, together with another man, participated in an execution in Syria.
Among the pictures Fatosh Ibrahim posted on her social media was a picture from the al-Naim roundabout, published in 2014, where a head can be seen impaled on a fence. In the background, a person can be seen lying on the ground. “Huh?? What did u say???” writes the woman. In a comment to the picture, she writes: “They are Bashar’s men. They have raped women and killed women and children and men. They have been firing rockets and bombs for 3 years at civilians. Mass murder and more Their greatest punishment is death.”
Fatosh Ibrahim was served with charges of suspicion of war crimes in May 2021.
She herself has claimed that she went to Syria to help civilians and that it is not her in the photos she posted on her Facebook page.
In Sweden, Ibrahim appears to partially earn a living as a “witch” by selling “spells” via social media, something that appears in a feature on TV4 where she is referred to as the “IS witch.” In her social media, she has told about the accusations against her and there, as in the interrogation, she says that she was forced to join IS.
Fatosh Ibrahim denies wrongdoing. The maximum penalty for war crimes is six years in prison. Fatosh Ibrahim has today been sentenced to three months in prison.
