Swedish court sentences woman to 12 years for ISIS war crimes against Yazidi women, children.

A Swedish court has sentenced a 52-year-old woman, Lina Ishaq, to 12 years in prison for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes committed against Yazidi women and children while she was part of ISIS in Syria in 2015. Ishaq was found guilty of enslaving nine Yazidis, including six children, forcing them to convert to Islam, and subjecting them to physical and sexual abuse. This case marks the first time Swedish courts have tried ISIS attacks against the Yazidi minority.
