The 20-year old woman, Dila, a pseudonym, belongs to Yazidi people of Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) who were subjected to genocide by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not

(ISIS), was unconvinced by Begum’s more recent efforts to show herself as a victim, and confirmed that her new persona is fake.
"It is fake by Begum. Living with ISIS women and ISIS in general I understand how they think, how loyal they are to their Sharia ideas," Dila confirmed in an interview made by soldier-turned-journalist Alan Duncan.
According to the report Dila was kidnaped, sold, raped and kept by ISIS for seven years from the age of 13.
Dila said that Begum participated in the "Students of Sharia" lessons in 2015, in which women were taught to use guns and told how to wear suicide belts.
The escaped Yazidi woman noted that Shamima was friends with a slave dealer who sold girls aged just 14 into a life of sexual servitude, including Dila’s own sister, who has never been found since.
The most famous ISIS bride, Begum, a British-born woman who traveled to Syria at the age of 15, joined the group in Syria with two friends in 2015. She does her best to return to Britannia, which had stripped her of her citizenship in 2019.
Since the fall of the ISIS caliphate, Begum has been held in various camps run by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). Currently, she is being held at Roj camp, which holds around 2,600 former ISIS members. A majority are foreign nationals. The AANES has repeatedly called for their repatriation.
The UK has struggled to prosecute its citizens who joined the jihadist outfit due to the high bar on criminal liability. Instead, the UK government has preferred to strip those who traveled to Syria and Iraq of their citizenship where possible.
"Even if they are not in ISIS — I don’t think they have open mentality, I am certain, women of ISIS will never change, they still believe in what they believe," Dila stressed.
Duncan believes that Dila’s testimony to be some of the ’compelling’ he has come across, and warned that returning ISIS brides could be "ticking time bombs".
On Feb.22, a judge ruled that UK citizenship would not be restored to Begum.
The judges dismissed Begum’s appeal, ruling that while there was credible suspicion that Begum had been trafficked to Syria for sexual exploitation, this was not sufficient to whitewash her case.
The ruling means that she will not regain her British citizenship and will not be allowed to return to Britannia, and she is now in the Roj camp in northeastern Syria.
