كنت طالبة طب حين غادرت. غادرت لانني لم اتحمل ان ابقى هناك وايضا لم اتحمل الدراسة في الجامعة ولا اتحمل ان ارى اصحابي او عاءلتي يخسرون دينهم او قيمهم التي تعبوا من اجلها فقط حتى يتاقلمون في مجتمع اخر. تركت كل شيء وكم فرحت حين فعلت ذلك. تزوجت وانجبت طفلين جميلين وكنا نعيش تحت احكام الشريعة وكم كان ذلك جميلا ولكن في اخر الايام خسرت جوزي وابني الاصغر ودفنت ابني الاصغر بنفسي وكان ذلك مدمرا وصعبا جدا. وبعد ذلك سجنا في مخيم الهول وكان ذلك مهينا حيث ان الناس الذين ذبحو وقتلوا اهلي واخواتي واخواني المسلمين هم الذين يحرسوننا ويعتقلوننا… لم اصدق ما كان يحصل..ولكن بعون الله هربت انا وابني…

Western governments are facing growing pressure to repatriate their own nationals held in dangerous and overcrowded camps and prisons in northeastern Syria. The dire and life-threatening conditions men, women and children are living under in the camps and prisons have sparked anger and grief in families of these people and a network has emerged; Families for Repatriation International (FRI). The network brings together family members of foreign nationals held in Syria and is being backed by human rights organisations and lawyers involved in legal cases on behalf of those in detention. We are thrilled to hear about the network and hope they will succeed. You can read much more about…

Merci beaucoup. Saeurs et fréres, vous m’avez tant aidé. Qu’ Allah vous récompense. Je suis prisonniére ici dans ce camp depuis deux ans. Deux ans. Le governement francais ne veut pas m’aider. Et je crains qu’ils vont révoquer ma citoyenneté. Je ne comprends pas. Je n’ai á peine á manger et de la médecine. Mes enfants souffrent. Mon enfant le plus jeune est malade sans cesse depuis six mois. J’ai essayé d’aller voir le médecin mais soit ils n’ont pas le temps soit ils sont juste trés pauvres. Mon mari est mort martyr et qu’ Allah lui récompense. Mais tout ce que j’ai fait est de prendre soin de nos…

I really don’t know where to start, ok! I mean, the kuffar injustice when it comes to rights. Okay I know some would call me violent, short sighted, blunt, whatever. I don’t care. I did what I did. I did it for Allah SWT, and He knows best. But I grew up in UK. I worked shitty jobs. All these jobs, these fancy posh lords never would or could do. I worked in UK and now UK punishes me, like I am some one you can just wash out. Like I am dirt. Hey I want to come back to my family, my wife needs medication. My children are sick.…

For 3 years my loving husband has not been allowed to travel back to the Netherlands even though he is badly injured. No politicians want to help him. How can helping Muslim children be a crime in the eye of politicians in Europe countries? Alhamdulillah we can now get help from a lawyer and legal counselling and with the help of Allah SWT bring my husband back here with his family. Thank you Mouna with all of my heart. You will be in my prayers. – Umm Somaya

After two years of fighting Shamima Begum is finally on her way home to UK where she was born and raised. UK has finally decided that she has been treated wrongfully and not given a fair due part of the process. She should now be allowed to return to UK to pursue her appeal or be it subject to such controls as the secretary of state deems appropriate. It is more than we could have hoped for. Congratulations Shamima Begum.

My daughter travelled to Syria June 2014. From what me and her father have been her and her friends’ plan was to study there. We had no suspicion what so ever that she intended to participate in IS activities. Sarah then contacted us mid-August 2019. She told us that she had given birth to a baby girl and she sent us some photos of her. That was how we found out that she had been married. We don’t know the father of the child. Sarah seemed depressed and filled with anxiety. And we got the clear impression that she was unhappy and afraid to stay in Syria and for what…

First of all I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell my story. Thank you for dealing with this subject. I understand it is complicated, I understand the many feelings people have towards the topic. But we are talking about individuals with children, parents, sisters and brothers, and friends. One of them is my daughter. My daughter has had a harsh life, but she is a loving mother and has always taking care of others. My husband and I are originally from Morocco but we have raised our five children in Italy. My husband died 8 years ago and our youngest daughter who adored him got…

Salam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh sisters and brothers, I am very grateful to find a website like this that finally dares to bring up the sensitive subject of citizenship deprivation. I have not been stripped of my citizenship nor am I in danger of getting it taken away. Nonetheless, I can see that many of our Muslim brothers and sisters are in exactly this situation and it must be very scary and lonely. I am from Denmark and I sympathize with those who have travelled abroad thinking they were doing something good on the path of Islam. I also sympathize with those who on their way might have ended…

Since 2013 I have been in Syria along with my wife and children. We have been separated from each other since march 2019. I am stranded in Turkey. And at the moment I have no contact with my wife and children. I can only hope that they are still alive and safe insha allah. Six month ago I was shocked to learn that my government had decided to revoke my citizenship simply because I am a Muslim child of migrant parents and have stayed in Syria. I’m being treated as a second class citizen by my own government. This is just pure racism and Islamophobia, and a violation of the…
