On 12 January 2021, ICCT Director Thomas Renard was a guest on Swedish Radio show 'Studio One'. Thomas offered his opinion and thoughts on a recent trial in Sweden where the mother of a Swedish ISIS supporter was being prosecuted as it is believed she must have contributed to her 12-year-old son becoming a child soldier in the terrorist group.
