“There’s a $1 million reward on my head. It is possible for me to be captured and killed in these circumstances that I find myself in here in Denmark”

Joanna Palani was still a teenager when, in 2014, she dropped out of college and left Copenhagen to go and fight in Syria

She wrote on Facebook that she was inspired “to fight for women’s rights, for democracy”

She is thought to have killed over 100 ISIS militants while fighting alongside the Kurdish Peshmerga in Iraq and Syria

She also helped to liberate Yazidi girls who were imprisoned as sex slaves

“When we were preparing to liberate houses of ISIS sex slaves, we had this saying one fighter goes to rescue but many fighters will come back out”

“As a sniper I could be on the front line for nine days at a time. You have to be very patient. You have to focus. You cannot lose concentration for one moment”

Her actions came to the attention of the Danish authorities, who banned her from traveling to the region when she returned from fighting in September 2015

Unable to leave her comrades to fight alone, she broke her ban and flew back to Iraq. She walked for seven hours through the night to cross the border into Syria

When she returned she was imprisoned for 3 weeks in Vestre Fængsel, Denmark’s largest prison
