A British woman who joined the terrorist organization ISIS after fleeing seven years ago regrets her actions. British woman Tarina Shakeel, who chose the path of ISIS inspired by Jihad, has admitted that she took the wrong decision. Tarina said that she was taken advantage of in the terrorist camp. Tarina Shakeel is the same British woman who, expressing displeasure with her life, fled Britain to join ISIS.
Tarina, who has been jailed for joining ISIS, said she regretted everything she had done in the past. Tarina, who fled Syria in 2014 with her newborn son at the age of 24, is now 32 years old. Tarina fled back to the UK in 2016. At that time, he was sentenced to six years in prison for lying to the British police. He then said that he “never intended” to join the ill-fated terrorist group. But it was revealed in court that he had exchanged messages online with other extremists and made derogatory posts on Twitter. While living in Syria, Tarina had clicked a photo of her one-year-old son next to an AK47.
After going to jail, Tarina has been claiming that recruiters in ISIS took advantage of her. She is still full of remorse over her decision to join ISIS. “Everything about her decision to join ISIS with her child still stings her,” said Tarina, adding that she lives everyday realizing the consequences of her wrong decision. People are prepared to recruit. You will not regret your decision at that point. You will not feel that you are insecure. You find out later that the decision to choose ISIS may not be the right one.
‘I was ashamed of myself’
Tarina said, ‘I remember that I was really sad and full of bitterness. I was cheated. I remember that I was somewhat ashamed of myself that I allowed all this to happen to me. Tarina was released from prison in 2019 after serving half her sentence. Upon release, he said that he is now a normal person and that his focus is on a “normal life”. “I have no intention of doing anything other than moving forward in my life,” Tarine said.
