Father of woman who joined ISIS seeks her extradition

She is presently lodged in Pul-e-Charkhi prison in Afghanistan

The father of a woman from Kerala with her seven-year-old daughter when last heard has moved the Supreme Court for their extradition. Sixty-five-year-old V.J. Sebastian Francis, from Kochi, is afraid that his daughter, Sonia Sebastian@Ayisha, presently lodged in Kabul’s Pul-e-Charkhi prison, may be executed amidst the fight between Taliban and Afghan government forces. “Subsequent to the withdrawal of the American Forces there may be violent face off and war between Islamic Government and Taliban. Hence there is an imminent threat to the life of the detenues, or that they may be put to trial in Afghanistan and executed there itself,” the petition said.
