A Canadian woman who was returned from a prison camp in Syria this week has been released on bail in Edmonton pending a terrorism peace bond application.
RCMP in Alberta say the 38-year-old woman is subject to a number of conditions while she awaits the peace bond process but did not say what those were.
The woman is among a group of six Canadian women and 13 children Global Affairs Canada agreed to repatriate from the prison camps in northeastern Syria in January.

Ottawa lawyer Lawrence Greenspon has been helping the women get back to Canada and says four of them, plus 10 children, flew to Canada this week.
Two of those women are being held in custody in Brampton, Ont., also awaiting a Tuesday bail hearing as the crown requests a terrorist peace bond for them.
The fourth woman was not arrested and Greenspon says all of the children are with relatives.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 7, 2023.
