Tareena Shakil was the first British woman to go to prison for joining the Islamic State group.

As her prison sentence has now been spent, she is free to build a new life. Conditions on her release have gone and she can now tell her story.

Tareena was jailed in 2016 for travelling to Syria with her son, who was a one-year-old baby at the time, to join IS.

She was 24 when she went to Syria, but she didn’t last long before she fled. As soon as Tareena touched down in Heathrow, she was detained.

On Woman’s Hour, Tareena told Anita Rani why she ran away to join IS, how she says she has changed, how her actions impacted her family and her hopes for the future.
