The strange case of Rehab Dughmosh, 32, a woman deeply alienated from every democratic custom, it seems, continues to beleaguer the court system and haunt the notion of Canadian citizenship. The authorities say they know this is indeed the woman identified in the media as the golf club and knife assailant at a Canadian Tire Store last April. Her sole appearance in court saw her clad in a niqab, which hid her face. She has refused to leave her jail cell twice to attend court appearances. It is not known if she wears the niqab in the cell. Nor has the media yet unfolded her journey to Canadian citizenship to an utterly stunned public. It is known that she left Canada to join ISIS in 2016 but was stopped in Turkey and brought back. Tuesday, Dughmosh refused to appear in court a second time to face the charges against her. The judge said she will be required to appear now by video on Thursday, but if she refuses to leave her cell for that appearance, some other contrivance apparently will be necessary.
