A former ISIS member was convicted on Tuesday of killing a five-year-old girl in Iraq. The accident occurred in 2015, and after six years the verdict is ready.
The 29-year-old, referred to as Al-J, was sentenced in a regional court in Frankfurt to life imprisonment, in addition to paying compensation of 50,000 euros, equivalent to more than 500,000 crowns, to the child’s mother. Five years old was killed.
Fainted in court
Al-J bought the five-year-old as slaves in 2014, and the judge in court concluded that the 29-year-old had acted with the intent to exterminate the Jesuits (members of religious sects scattered in Kurdish areas), and thus constituted genocide.
The defendant’s lawyer denied the charges against his client, who fainted when the judgment was read out, writing Watchman.
Brother killed – two convicted of supporting ISIS
Also present in the courtroom was the accused’s German wife, who was sentenced in October to 10 years in prison for murder. The mother of the five-year-old testified in both cases, and attorney Amal Clooney, who served as the mother’s counsel, was very pleased with the verdict.
