A woman is facing court over allegations she
entered and remained in parts of Syria that were off-limits to
Australians at the time.
It is alleged the 31-year old travelled to Syria in 2014 to join
her husband in areas of the country under the control of Islamic
State, a declared terrorist organisation of which her husband
became a member the year prior. Police claim the woman was aware of
her husband's activities at the time.
After her husband died in 2018, the woman was taken in at Al Roj
Internally Displaced Persons Camp before returning to Australia in
August 2022.
She is currently residing in the town of Young which is located
in the South West Slopes region of New South Wales.
