A judge has finally ruled that ex-Irish soldier, 39, who fled to Syria and married jihadi can now visit family in Belfast. Lisa Smith, 39, who had been charged with membership of an unlawful organisation, was arrested at Dublin Airport in 2019 on suspicion of terrorist offences. She had travelled to Syria a number of years ago after she converted to Islam.
“There, she allegedly became the second wife of British jihadist Sajid Aslam and had a child with him. She returned to Ireland in 2019 after being housed in a refugee camp. In 2019, Smith was served with a notice by the Home Secretary to exclude her from the UK on the grounds of national security,” Daily Mail reported. She had appealed against the decision to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC) in London. The SIAC has finally ruled in Smith's favour and allowed her appeal.
