Australian Federal Police (AFP) have charged a 34-year-old Broadmeadows woman with entering and remaining in a declared conflict zone and joining a terrorist group.
In a press conference today, an AFP spokesperson said that the woman was alleged to have travelled to Syria in 2013 or 2014 to join ISIS.
She was then detained by Kurdish forces in 2019 before being placed in an internally displaced persons camp in Lebanon.
The woman returned to Australia from Lebanon on 26 September 2025.
So far, four of the “ISIS brides” have been charged with offences including slavery. Both charges carry a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
