做事之前请三思

In airport surveillance pictures, the three young women look like typical travelers. But their destination was anything but ordinary. British police announced last week that three east London classmates -- Shamima Begum, 15; Kadiza Sultana, 16; and Amira Abase, 15 -- had flown aboard a Turkish Airlines plane from London’s Gatwick Airport to Istanbul on February 17. From there, they wanted to go to Syria with the apparent goal of joining ISIS. On Tuesday, authorities said they believe the three girls have made it to their target country.

The family said it understands that Shamima has strong feelings about wanting to help those she believes are suffering in Syria. “You can help from home, you don’t have to put yourself in danger,” the statement reads. “Please don’t cross the border. Please come home to us. Our Mum needs you home and is really worried. We are not mad at you, we love you.”

“Kadiza’s sister, Halima Khanom said everyone in her family is hurting and wants to know whether Kadiza is safe. We want you to know that we all miss you and we love you,” Khanom said in a video message directed at her sister. “Find the courage in your heart to contact us and let us know that you’re safe and you’re OK. That is all we ask of you.”

“What she’s doing is completely nonsense,” Amira’s father, Abase Hussen, said. He implored Amira to come home. “Remember how we love you. Your mother, sister, brother, they cannot stop crying.” “The message we have for Amira is to get back home. We miss you,” Hussen said. “Please think twice.”
