the family of a French jihadist retained in Syria intends to lodge a complaint against two ministers

"It is necessary that a head of state take the responsibility", says Pascale D. This mother of a French party to join the Islamic State (IS) in Syria with her children intends to file a complaint in the Court of Justice of the Republic against Ministers Nicole Belloubet and Jean-Yves Le Drian, announced his lawyer, Friday 18 October.

For several months, Pascale D.'s daughter and her four children, aged 10, 7, 5 and 18 months, have been held by Kurdish forces in Al Hol camp in Syria. "They have no medicines, no raw materials, no drinking water, my grandchildren are sick one after the other and the health risk increases with the conflict"says Pascale D. to franceinfo.

His lawyer, Emmanuel Daoud, assures Franceinfo that he will file "presumably Tuesday" a complaint against the Ministers of Justice and Foreign Affairs, in particular for "failure to provide assistance" and "infringement of individual freedom". "A minister has become aware, in the performance of his duties, of an unlawful deprivation of liberty and has refrained from putting an end to it or calling on a competent authority to do so"Says the lawyer. "This woman and these children are being held in camps that are led by Kurdish Syrian forces, which do not represent any state. (in the light of France). They were not presented to a judge immediately. "

According to the lawyer, Nicole Belloubet has the obligation, as guard of the seals, to protect the children since she is the guarantor of the respect of the international conventions on the protection of the childhood signed by France. "This family is illegally and arbitrarily detained, and there is deprivation of care and education," supports Emmanuel Daoud.

These ministers must know that they will personally bear the legal and moral responsibility for the death of the least French child in these camps. They will have blood on their hands.Emmanuel Daoud, lawyerat a press conference

The family lawyer also plans to file a complaint for "complicity by means of supplies". It seeks to prove that there would have been financial flows between France and the Kurds for the detention to continue.

The daughter of Pascale D., from Pas-de-Calais, is 31 years old. She converted to Islam at age 17 and met her husband in the south of France. It is during this meeting, according to Pascale D., that she "change of character" and cut off all communications. "And then one day, no phone answer, neither of him nor my daughter, I thought of an accident or a departure in another Maghreb country", She says.

For a year, she has no news and ends up learning that she is with her children near Raqqa, former stronghold of the Islamic State. She is remarried, does not fight, is locked in a women's house and has a fourth child.

"Women do not fight, my daughter must be tried, put in jail, and accountable, but she does not deserve to die, laments Pascale D. It is necessary to cure them, to save them, it is inhuman. It's like the law of retaliation, we want them to pay for all the attacks that have occurred. "

Contacted by Franceinfo, the Ministry of Justice did not wish to comment. Also requested, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had not reacted Friday evening.
