A B.C. woman who converted to Islam and married an Islamic State fighter said leaving Canada for Syria was a terrible mistake she will regret for the rest of her life.
Kimberly Polman pleaded guilty last month to a terrorism charge in B.C. Supreme Court and wrote a handwritten letter to Canadians in 2019 asking the federal government to let her return.
She spent more than seven years in Syria before begging to come back and described feeling thrown into a world of intense fear.
Polman will learn her sentence after a two-week hearing scheduled later this month.
