VANCOUVER — A British Columbia woman who married an Islamic State fighter has pleaded guilty to terrorist-related charges in a Vancouver court.
The Public Prosecution Service of Canada confirms that Kimberly Polman pleaded guilty on Thursday to leaving Canada to participate in activities of a terrorist group, namely the Islamic State.
Polman had been held in a Syrian detention camp for several years before being returned to Canada in 2022.
She was in poor health, suffering from hepatitis, and her sister said in an interview before she returned that Polman had post-traumatic stress and other challenges.
