(Age) A young woman accused of associating with a person who intended to fight for Islamic State has been granted bail but remains in custody pending an appeal by commonwealth prosecutors.
Hadashah Sa’adat Khan, 23, has spent the past year in custody after she was charged last year over online contact she had with an American man in 2016, when she allegedly encouraged him to travel to the Middle East and fight for the terrorist organisation.
Police allege that as a teenager Ms Khan acted as a conduit between Islamic State and the American man, who was arrested in 2017 trying to board a one-way flight to Morocco. His subsequent interview with authorities prompted Australian police to investigate Ms Khan.
