Sweden: Womens' Flight From Forced Marriages Ends In Islamist Terror Camp
A story from Sweden's The Local states that two women who tried to escape from forced marriages in Sweden were duped into becoming prisoners at a Middle East terror training camp.
Two women, whose identity has not been revealed, told Swedish Radio that they were approached by men who offered to help them escape their marriages. The men told them they would be sent to work in refugee camps in the Middle East, run by an "international organisation".
Upon arrival, the camps were training bases for a terror organisation. There they underwent torture, in one instance after an escape attempt. One woman was held for nine years, the other for eight before trying to escape. Held at separate camps, the woman claim that the two places housed about 90 young people from Europe who had been conned in the same way, with a handful from Sweden.
The Local reports that a specialist in honor-related crime at the Swedish Police, Kickis Ahre Algamo, has said she has met both women. She is convinced their claims are genuine, and has forwarded their information to the Swedish Security Police, Sapo.
