Polman’s next court appearance was set for Dec. 2.

According to a statement from the RCMP B.C. Integrated National Security Team, on October 26, the RCMP arrested Polman at the Montreal Trudeau-Airport. She was transported to B.C., and remanded into custody by a judge to appear the next day for a bail hearing. She appeared in Chilliwack Provincial Court for a bail hearing on Thursday, Oct. 27.

The RCMP says it is committed to working in partnership with both domestic and foreign agencies to keep Canadians safe and secure and to protect Canadian interests at home and abroad, the statement read.

The RCMP says it will not comment further on Polman’s case since the RCMP criminal investigation of Ms. Polman remains ongoing.

She is one of two women who returned to Canada from a detention camp in Syria on Wednesday.

Oumaima Chouay, a Quebec woman who was repatriated alongside Polman, was arrested and faces four counts, including leaving Canada to participate in the activity of a terrorist group.
