Kawsar Abbas (53) and her daughter Zeinab Ahmad (31) will remain in custody in Melbourne, Australia, as they face serious charges related to crimes against humanity and slavery. The pair abandoned their bail bid on Monday, following their dramatic return to Australia after years in a Syrian refugee camp. They are accused of enslaving women during their time in Syria, with Abbas allegedly involved in purchasing a female slave for $10,000 USD. The charges against them include enslavement, possessing a slave, and slave trading, which could lead to a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison if convicted. Their next bail hearing is scheduled for June 16. A third woman, Janai Safar (32), was also arrested upon her arrival in Sydney and faces charges of being a member of a terrorist organization. She has been denied bail due to the severity of her charges.
