Global News
Helena Carson and Dina Kalouti are among nine women the government has helped return to Canada from camps for ISIS families.
Two Edmonton women were arrested after returning to Canada from a prison camp for ISIS families in Syria, the RCMP confirmed on Friday.
Helena Carson and Dina Kalouti were taken into custody upon arriving at Montreal-Trudeau airport.
They were transported to Alberta and appeared in court in Edmonton before being released on bail.
Neither have been charged with any crimes.
Crown prosecutors are instead asking the courts for terrorism peace bonds that would impose restrictions on them in the name of public safety.
The courts typically order those on terrorism peace bond to wear an ankle monitor, adhere to a curfew and stay off the internet, among other conditions.
Kalouti, 42, returned with her three children. She and Carson, 33, were captured in Syria during the fight against ISIS and detained for more than four years.
Global Affairs Canada secured their release from the custody of the Syrian Democratic Forces and flew them back to Canada on Thursday.
