Terrorism peace bond imposed on Edmonton woman who travelled to Islamic State, may have received military training
An Alberta woman who travelled to Syria to join the so-called Islamic State has agreed to a terrorism peace bond, admitting she received military training and applied to join an ISIS battalion before surrendering to Syrian forces.
Aimee Lucia Vasconez was in the Alberta court of justice Wednesday where Justice D’Arcy DePoe imposed a peace bond banning her from travelling, leaving Alberta without permission or accessing the internet for one year, in addition to other conditions.
Federal Crown prosecutor Monique Dion said Vasconez, 39, left Canada with her husband and two children in 2015 for ISIS-controlled Syria. Dion said the peace bond, under Section 810 of the Criminal Code, will allow for monitoring of Vasconez to ensure she does not participate in terrorism-related activities.
