The father of an ISIS bride who is begging to be brought back to Australia says his daughter left Victoria to live under the caliphate of her own volition and is lying about being “tricked” into joining Islamic State.

Guy Rosse-Emile has told The Nightly his daughter Kirsty willingly went to Syria with her husband Nabil Kadmiry in 2014.

“They went there with a view of establishing themselves in Islamic State in Syria under the caliphate,” he said.

“When she said, ‘Oh, I was tricked’ and all that, it’s not true.

“I’m telling you the truth about Kirsty and her husband. They went to live under the caliphate and they didn’t have any children then.”

The revelation comes after a group of six Australians — two ISIS brides and four children — quietly returned from Syria in late September.
