Accused of Slavery in Syria Remains in Custody

from Melbourne News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A woman accused of harboring a Yazidi slave in Syria remains jailed as a magistrate rules even a small terror risk outweighs bail, citing her unproven renunciation of extremist beliefs. Arrested at Melbourne Airport, she faces charges of crimes against humanity—including trafficking and abuse—backed by social media evidence. Prosecutors demand she stay behind bars for community safety, while her defense pleads for release to reunite with her PTSD-stricken daughter and argues she now despises ISIS. Her mother also faces charges, with bail hearings looming. The case returns to court soon. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
