(Morocco World News) Spain’s National Court has confirmed the decision of the secretary of state for security to expel a woman of Moroccan origin from Spain’s territory, banning her from entering the country for 10 years for her involvement with a jihadist cell, local media reported.
Born in Morocco in 1996, the woman became a legal resident in Spain in 1999. She was first arrested [in] April 2015 during the dismantling of a jihadist cell that operated in Barcelona and sent jihadists to Syria and Iraq, but was not convicted by the court, Spanish news outlet El Confidencial reported.
Spanish police indicated that the young woman was “charged with covering up the terrorist activity” carried out by her partner and by another member of the cell who was also arrested by the Bulgarian police on December 15, 2014, while en route to Syria, El Confidencial added.
