Amina Noor is charged with assisting a person to mutilate a child’s genitalia A woman was afraid she’d be ‘cursed’ if she didn’t allow a three-year-old girl British girl undergo female genital mutilation in Kenya, a court has heard. Somali-born Amina Noor, 39, is charged with assisting a non-UK person to mutilate the girl’s genitalia in 2006. The alleged offence only came to light in 2018 after the girl confided in her English teacher at school when she was 16.
’ She told the court she ‘felt pain’ over the threat, adding: ‘That was a pressure I had no power to do anything about.’ Prosecutor Deanna Heer KC asked the defendant why she had not told police before. Noor said she did not think it was safe to say anything and also that she had not been asked about it. She also claimed what she’d said about being ‘disowned’ and ‘cursed’ was not passed on by the interpreter, although jurors were told she had agreed translations of the interviews.
