The Crown Prosecution Service said a jury convicted Amina Noor, 39, of assisting a Kenyan woman in carrying out the procedure 17 years ago.
The case came to light in 2018 when the girl, by then a teenager, told a teacher that as a young child she had undergone the cutting procedure, which involves the partial or total removal of external female genitalia.King Charles III will travel to Kenya later this month for a state visit full of symbolismNoor told police she thought the child would just get an injection and didn’t appear to be in pain afterward.
“We want to send a strong message that this crime does not have to be carried out in the U.K. for perpetrators to be prosecuted,” Strobino said in a statement. “We will seek justice for victims regardless of where in the world it is committed, and offenders should be clear there is no hiding place.”UNICEF, the U.N.
