Suhayra Aden

New Zealand Islamist

Suhayra Aden (born 1995) is a New Zealander and former dual Australian citizen who travelled to Syria in 2014 to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Because of her connections to ISIL, her Australian citizenship was removed. In February 2021, she was detained by Turkish authorities while trying to enter the country with her two children.[1][2][3] Turkey dropped charges against Aden and began proceedings to deport her.[4][5]
