Afghan Woman Freshta Jami Gets Life Sentence in UK for ISIS Plot

Freshta Jami was sentenced to life in the UK for attempting to join ISIS-K and planning terrorist activities in Afghanistan.

Freshta Jami, an Afghan woman, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a UK court after being found guilty of attempting to join ISIS-Khorasan in Afghanistan. The court ruled that she posed a serious threat due to her ties with terrorist organizations.

According to British media reports on Thursday, April 10, Jami was convicted under Section 5 of the UK Terrorism Act 2006 for preparing to commit terrorist acts. She was found guilty on two counts and received a life sentence, with a minimum of 17 years to be served.

The Leicester Crown Court handed down the sentence after finding substantial evidence of her intentions and preparations. Her actions were deemed premeditated and dangerous, reflecting an ideological commitment to extremist beliefs.

Police investigations revealed evidence from her home connecting her directly to ISIS activities. Her arrest in February followed a thorough surveillance operation based on digital communications and radical material found in her possession.

During court proceedings, it was revealed that Jami had planned to become a “martyr” and was also intending to take her children with her to Afghanistan for that purpose. This aspect of the case raised serious concerns about the welfare and safety of minors involved.

Jami was initially arrested in February and held in custody since then. Her case underscores growing concerns in the UK over radicalization and attempts to join foreign terrorist groups from within its borders.

The UK authorities have reiterated their commitment to preventing terrorism and protecting public safety. The case of Fereshta Jami serves as a stark reminder of the threats posed by extremist ideologies and the importance of vigilance at both community and national levels.
