Anna Erelle

Anna Erelle is a journalist who went undercover to "[investigate] the secretive world of jihadi brides" and to find out more about ISIS (Day) . She Skyped an Islamic State fighter, pretending to be a young girl. She exposed a lot of what was going on in ISIS at the time, and ISIS issued a death warrant against her. She is under police protection at all times because her life is always in danger. She even writes under the pseudonym  "Anne Erelle" to stay safe by preventing her identity from getting out. Anne says that it is hard always being in danger, due to the fact that "many people left [her life] because they were worried about being seen with her]" (Day). She states that even though her life has changed drastically, she doesn't regret going undercover and exposing some of the things going on in ISIS.
