Former ISIS bride pleads guilty to terror-related charge in B.C. court

A British Columbia woman, Kimberly Polman, has pleaded guilty in a Vancouver court to terrorist-related charges for leaving Canada to join the Islamic State. Polman, who was previously held in a Syrian detention camp, married an ISIS fighter online and later denounced the group, according to her sister. She was in poor health when she returned to Canada in 2022, suffering from hepatitis and post-traumatic stress. A sentencing hearing has not yet been set.
