German court charges IS returnee over alleged slave abuse

Associated Press  

BERLIN — A German woman who allegedly abused a Yazidi slave while in Islamic State-held territory in Syria has been charged with crimes against humanity and other offenses, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. She lived with the third man in and near the Syrian city of Mayadin from September to October 2017, prosecutors said, adding that the husband kept a Yazidi woman as a slave and regularly raped her with the suspect’s knowledge. The suspect also physically abused the woman “almost every day,” according to prosecutors. In addition, prosecutors said, the suspect constantly watched the woman and repeatedly told her to pray according to Islamic custom, an act that “served the stated goal of the IS, to eradicate the Yazidi faith.” The indictment was filed last month at the state court in Hamburg, which will have to decide whether and when to open a trial.
