Accused ISIS bride fights for bail in Melbourne court
Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description
Zeinab Ahmad, an accused ISIS bride charged with crimes against humanity, is appearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court seeking bail and release from maximum security prison. Her lawyer argues for her release based on her seven-year-old daughter's welfare and PTSD, the anticipated three-year wait for trial due to the case's complexity and overseas witnesses, and evidence that Ahmad has distanced herself from Islamic State ideology since returning from Syria. Chief Magistrate Lisa Hannon has yet to rule on the bail application in this unprecedented case.
