A B.C. woman who was repatriated from a Syrian prison camp in 2022 has been arrested and charged with terrorism offences, police announced Saturday.
The charges against 51-year-old Squamish resident Kimberly Polman are leaving Canada to participate in the activity of a terrorist group and participation in the activity of a terrorist group, Mounties from B.C. and the Federal Serious and Organized Crime unit said in a news release.
Police said the charges stem from an ongoing investigation of allegations that Polman left Canada in 2015 and travelled to Syria to join ISIS.
Polman has been subject to a terrorism peace bond since November 2023. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 2, in Vancouver provincial court.
