A Squamish woman charged with alleged ISIS-related terrorism offences will return to Vancouver Provincial Court on Sept. 19.
The RCMP’s Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team said in July it had arrested and charged 51-year-old Kimberly Gwen Polman.
She appeared in court on Aug. 29 to set an appearance date.
Court documents indicate she left B.C. July 21, 2015, information that is in count one of charge documents.
It alleges Polman left Canada to knowingly participate in the activity of a terrorist group for the purpose of enhancing the ability of such a group to its activities.
A second count alleges she participated in the work of the Islamic State at or near the Syrian Arab Republic between July 25, 2015 and July 27, 2019.
Polman was repatriated to Canada in October 2022 and was placed on a series of bail conditions. She has been subject to a terrorism peace bond since Nov. 7, 2023.
