Kirsty Rosse-Emile
Kirsty Rosse-Emile is an Australian woman who travelled to Daesh-territory, also known as the Islamic State.[2][3] She converted to Islam when she was a teenager. She married Nabil Kadmiry in 2014, and the pair then travelled to war-torn Syria, to live under Daesh's strict and brutal interpretation of Islamic law.
She gave birth to a boy, in the Al-Hawl refugee camp, in the late fall of 2019.[1] In February, 2020, The Guardian reported that doctors at the camp predicted that her three-year-old daughter's fingers frostbite was so severe they would have to be amputated.[4]
The News reported, in April 2019, that Rosse-Emile was pregnant with her second child, and that her father had tried pleading with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's to show “love, compassion and forgiveness”.[3]
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation profiled Rosse-Emile, and other Australian refugees, in October 2021, noting all of them denied they were ever willing participants in the Daesh regime.[5] During an interview, for that profile, Rosse-Emile told reporters she had been happy growing up in Australia.
