NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday held a Kerala-based woman guilty of being associated with the so-called Islamic State and propagating ideologies of the terrorist organisation and sentenced her to seven years' imprisonment.

A bench of Justices U U Lalit and Indu Malhotra held that there is sufficient evidence to prove she was propagating the ideology of IS and advocating war against non-Muslims. It upheld the trial court and HC orders convicting her. But in doing so, it quashed the HC's order to award her three years in jail and upheld the trial court order of seven years.

Police got a complaint in 2016 that 14 people had left India to join IS. After investigation, Yasmeen Mohammad Zahid was arrested from Delhi's IGI Airport while attempting to travel to

along with her child.

Her husband and others had already left India and joined IS in Afghanistan. An NIA court in

sentenced her to rigorous imprisonment.
