| [KhaamaPress] A 36-year-old Afghan immigrant woman has been found guilty of terrorism offences after planning to travel to Afghanistan with her children to join the terrorist group ISIS. Farishta Jami was convicted of two counts of engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorism under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006 at Leicester Crown Court. The court heard that Jami, a refugee who settled in the UK, had saved over £1,200 to fund one-way flights for herself and her children to Afghanistan. Her intention was to join ISIS and martyr herself. Jami had conducted extensive research into available flight options and was planning the trip as early as July 2023. Investigators found that she had carried out 22 separate flight searches in late October and early November 2023, with a focus on one-way tickets. During a search of her home, detectives seized multiple electronic devices, sim cards, hidden cash, and concealed passports. Jami had been active online, sharing Detective Chief Superintendent Alison Hurst of Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands highlighted that while Jami had claimed she was traveling to visit family in Afghanistan, no evidence was found to support this. Authorities were able to confirm that she had no plans to contact relatives, and her actions pointed to a clear intention to join ISIS. Jami is scheduled for sentencing on February 14, 2025. The case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by individuals attempting to travel abroad to join terrorist groups. UK authorities urge the public to report any suspicious activities, stressing that timely action can help prevent tragedies. |
