Canadian woman released from camp for Islamic State detainees in Syria arrested at airport

Canadian woman released from camp for Islamic State detainees in Syria arrested at airport

A Canadian woman who traveled to ISIS-controlled Syria in 2014 was arrested at the airport on Monday when she returned from overseas.

RCMP officers were waiting when the woman disembarked after spending two years at camps in northeast Syria for prisoners captured during the fight against ISIS.

While she does not face any charges, police have asked the court for a terrorism peace bond that would impose restrictions on her.

She appeared in court and was released on conditions.

“I can confirm that an information was laid today, before a judge … in relation to a terrorism peace bond,” Nathalie Houle, spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, said late Monday.

But few details about the matter can be reported, including her name or the province where she was arrested, due to an order imposed by the Federal Court.

The woman was scheduled to return to court on Friday.
