(CTV) Kimberly Polman and her family left the Chilliwack, B.C., courtroom Friday eager to turn the page on a dark chapter.
In a statement, the family told CTV News Polman “has survived through physical and mental trauma over years of war and internment.”
“Kim is cooperative with all authority, is compliant and respectful,” the statement reads. “We are hopeful for her healing physically and mentally.”
Polman claims in 2015 she was lured to Syria by her husband, an ISIS fighter she met online. In 2019, she was detained by Kurdish forces and spent three years in a detention camp located in northern Syria. Polman was released and returned to Canada in October 2022.
