Nawal Masaad, of Holloway, and Amal El-Wahabi, northwest London, were accused of seeking to finance terrorism. Masaad had tried to smuggle €20,000 (£16,300) in her underwear through Heathrow airport on her way to Istanbul, where she was allegedly planning to meet with El-Wahabi’s husband, a jihadist in Syria. The Foreign Office summoned Sudan’s charge d’affaires in protest against Sudan’s imposition of the death penalty on a pregnant woman for converting to Christianity.
