(CBC) A provincial court judge will hold a bail hearing Thursday morning for a B.C. woman who returned to Canada this week after years spent in Syria as the bride of an ISIS fighter.
Kimberly Polman made a brief appearance in Chilliwack provincial court, about 100 kilometres east of Vancouver, late Wednesday afternoon — hours after police arrested her on her arrival in Montreal under a section of the Criminal Code designed to keep people from participating in terrorism-related activities.
Polman has been detained for the past three years at al-Roj Syrian detention camp for families of ISIS fighters. She travelled to Syria in 2015 after marrying an ISIS fighter online and has said she was in a “terrible place” at the time.
