Frenchwoman Sentenced to 10 Years for Terrorist Conspiracy By Enock Damidami | Sele Media Africa

A French court has sentenced Carole Sun, a 30‑year‑old French national, to 10 years in prison for terrorist criminal conspiracy following her involvement with Islamic State (IS) affiliates in Syria. The verdict was delivered by a special criminal court in Paris on Thursday, 18 December 2025. [1][2]Sun, who left France for Syria with her brother in July 2014 at the height of IS’s territorial control, was later arrested by Kurdish forces in December 2017 as the group’s self‑declared caliphate collapsed. She subsequently spent more than four years in camps for IS members and their families before being repatriated to France on 5 July 2022 under a government program to bring home nationals previously in extremist‑controlled areas. [1][2]During her trial, the court heard that Sun had become radicalised online, admitted to contributing to IS propaganda activities, and maintained associations with individuals linked to violent units involved in the November 2015 Paris attacks. The prosecution also noted that her second husband, an IS intelligence operative, and her brother are both currently imprisoned abroad. [3]Sun’s conviction marks the second time a Frenchwoman repatriated from Syrian IS camps has been sentenced by French authorities on terrorism charges, underscoring ongoing legal efforts to hold returned foreign fighters and associates accountable[2]
