Woman Linked to Islamic State Charged After Returning to Australia

Sydney. Police have stated that a woman linked to the Islamic State (IS) group has been charged with terrorism offenses after returning to Australia from Syria. This announcement comes as two groups of women and children linked to the group arrived in Australia this month. They had spent years in the Al-Hol camp in northeastern Syria, where families of IS fighters have been held since 2019.

Further details about the identity of the arrested individual or the charges laid have not been immediately provided. However, police have announced a press conference for Thursday. Three women who returned from Syria earlier this month have also been charged with various offenses, including crimes against humanity and residing in a declared conflict zone.
