A French woman who followed her son to Syria, where he was fighting for Daesh, has been given a maximum 10 years in jail by a Paris court, the Guardian reported.
Christine Rivière, 51, nicknamed "Jihadi Granny" by investigators, had said she wanted to support her son and spend time with him in case he met an early death.
Delivered the verdict, the judge said she had demonstrated “a firm commitment” to Daesh and had contributed to strengthening the group logistically.
"Instead of trying to disengage your son, it seems on the contrary that you encouraged him," the judge said.
Rivière, from Troyes in eastern France, is the oldest of around 30 women who have been held on suspicion of links to terrorism over journeys they made between France and Syria.
