General Info:
Ruqayyah Ramli is a 34-year-old housewife and former religious teacher has been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for planning to travel to Syria to take up armed violence for terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Ramli was radicalised by her husband, who was earlier arrested for similar offences.

She had failed to respond to religious counselling after his arrest, and refused to turn away from her radical path.

Ruqayyah had previously been issued a restriction order (RO) under the ISA in August last year, after her husband was detained under the Act.

She has refused to make any genuine effort to participate in the rehabilitation programme, and remains entrenched in her radical beliefs.

Ramli continues to support the Islamic State violent actions and believes in the use of violence against the perceived enemies of Islam.

Also, Ramli had persisted in communicating online with overseas Islamic State supporters who were associates of her husband, in breach of her restriction order condition.

Ramli, who was accredited by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) in September 2017, has had her accreditation suspended.
