Summary A group of lawyers is working on behalf of the families of jihadists in France, reports Le Figaro
(Web Desk) – At least 376 French jihadist recruits in Syria have been seeking advice on how to get themselves out of their miseries, stating in their letters to parents: “I am fed up. My ipod does not work anymore here. I want to come back”, writes one jihadist reported by Telegraph.
According to the Le Figaro Newspaper, they have seen a series of letters of the French jihadists which they have written to their parents and family members back home from Syria.
They make us do cleaning, washing and bring bodies back from the battle front, writes one of the jihadist recruits.
Another French fighter wrote, “They want to send me to the front, but I don’t know how to fight”, the report continues.
A group of lawyers is working on behalf of the families of the jihadists in France to have the state allow them to come back to their homes.
Moreover, out of 100 French Jihadists who have returned from Syria, at least 76 are in prison in France.
The story of these French militants is similar to that of a man from Mumbai, India named Majeed, 23 who fought alongside “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria” (ISIS) terror group and later came back home after realising that he was supposed to clean toilets there and do nothing else.
Harriet Alexander reports in The Telegraph that during his interrogation, Majeed said that fighters raped many women there.
He also said that there was neither a holy war nor preaching of the holy book was followed.
French jihadists are also worried about the nationality of their babies, stating that the French state would not recognize them as its citizens.
Reportedly, a Frenchman was beheaded for wanting to follow the path of his friend who had left the war after finding no purpose to it.
“Everyone knows that, the longer these people stay there, the worse it will be because having watched or committed atrocities, they become ticking time bombs,” Le Figaro quotes a lawyer.
