(BBC) A woman has been jailed for taking a three-year-old British child to Kenya for female genital mutilation (FGM).
Amina Noor, 40, from Harrow, north-east London, travelled to Kenya in 2006 where she took the child to a private house for the procedure, the court heard.
At the Old Bailey, Noor was handed a sentence of seven years in prison.
She was the first person to be convicted of assisting a non-UK person to perform FGM.
She had told the Old Bailey the mutilation was done for cultural reasons and was a procedure she herself had undergone as a child.
