A Father’s Plea: bring my ISIS bride daughter home
Episode description
Mariam Dabboussy was married in 2011 and she and her husband went on a holiday in 2015. Her husband took her into Syria and joined the ISIS fight to establish a caliphate. He was killed just before their second child was born. Mariam was subsequently married off twice more.
Her father, Kamalle Dabboussy joins us to tell his daughter’s story – and to talk about trying to bring his daughter and now three grandchildren home.
It’s a heartbreaking story of the plight of a young Australian family – and a failure of government leaving helpless women and children to suffer in a camp in northern Syria, desperate to come home, even if they have to face the consequences for their actions.
