Female ISIS supporter charged with terrorism offence in Milton

A 29-year-old woman is facing a terrorism-related offence following an investigation by the RCMP.

On April 4, 2023, Ammara Amjad returned to Canada from Syria and was arrested by way of a Terrorism Peace Bond.

She was later released on bail conditions pending a future court appearance.

On Oct. 5, the RCMP arrested Amjad in Milton for her alleged participation in the activities of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. She was charged with participating in the activity of a terrorist group.

Amjad has since appeared at William Davis Courthouse in Brampton before the Ontario Provincial Court for a bail hearing in relation to the charge. She was released from custody by the court and is subject to a number of bail conditions.

Her next court date is scheduled for Nov. 17.
