1/ I'm back in studio &continuing my series on #ISISfiles which I found in Tabqa, Syria.
This story is on ISIS docs regarding fighters from US, Belgium, Holland, etc.
Judging by attacks in Paris+Indonesia, ISIS still active &dangerous.
English Thread.

2/ I found #ISISfiles mentioned in this report in abandoned ISIS-court in mosque in Syria.
Imam told me he wanted to burn docs.
I asked his permission to take docs for archiving purposes.
I've given copies to local+int bodies that help bring closure &justice to ISIS victims.

3/ Already in 2013 we found trove of Al-Qaeda documents in Timbuktu, Mali.
In AlQaeda offices, we saved these docs from certain destruction.
We reported about it for @akhbar & @foreignpolicy then handed docs over to international court.

4/ OK back to today's story.
We found #ISISfiles on foreign fighters in ISIS court. So these are court cases of:
- Foreign fighters suing each other
- Foreign fighters suing Syrian civilians
- Syrian civilians suing foreign fighter(s)
In most cases ISIS-judge was non-Syrian.

5/ First ISIS-court doc is about fighter from Tajikistan.
He sues own wife because she left the house without his permission.
ISIS judge rules in his favor. Wife promises: "I pledge not to leave house, not to lie, to obey my husband &I will accept punishment if I do otherwise."

6/ Next ISIS court case is about 4 ISIS fighters -among them a Turk- who are sued for beating up civilians.
ISIS judge issues guilty verdict. 2 ISIS fighters get 99 lashes, other 2 get 79 lashes each.
Even for ISIS standards these 4 were brutal so can u imagine...

7/ Another ISIS court document we found is about an American ISIS fighter called Abu Akrama al Amriki who is suing a French fighter named Abu Nazir al Fransi.
Unfortunately we did not find doc with the final verdict. It says in papers: "case transferred from military police".
