(LBC) A woman from Warwickshire has been sentenced to prison for life with a minimum term of 17 years for terrorism offences after planning to travel to Afghanistan to join Daesh.
Farishta Jami, 36, from Stratford-upon-Avon, was sentenced to life in prison today at Leicester Crown Court after being found guilty of two counts of engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorism under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006.
During the trial, the court heard how Jami intended to martyr herself and was also planning to take her children with her. She had saved £1,200 to fund one-way flights to Afghanistan and carried out extensive research into available travel routes.
A search of her home uncovered multiple devices, sim cards hidden in a bag down the side of her bed, stashed cash, and efforts to conceal passports.
