Janai Safar, a 32-year-old Australian woman identified by media as an “ISIS bride,” is denied bail after her arrest on terrorism-related charges following her return to Australia from Syria. Multiple outlets report that she is held in Sydney’s Silverwater Correctional Complex while the legal process continues. The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and the Brisbane Times all state that she remains in custody after a court decision refusing bail. The West Australian similarly reports that Safar is not released, while other women connected to ISIS fighters who arrived in Australia are awaiting the outcome of their own bail or court proceedings. The Daily Mail reports that authorities had prepared a court attendance notice on May 8, 2019, but it could not be served until her arrest at Sydney Airport on Thursday night. That same reporting says several women linked to ISIS fighters arrived around that time, including Safar, after leaving detention in Syria about two weeks earlier. Across coverage, the central points are her airport arrest, the terrorism charges, and the decision to keep her in custody.
