A German federal court has rejected a woman’s appeal of her 14-year sentence for allowing a Yazidi girl she and her husband kept as a slave when they were members of the Islamic State group in Iraq to die of thirst
FILE - Defendant Jennifer W. arrives in a courtroom for her trial in Munich, Germany, Oct. 25, 2021. A German federal court said Wednesday it has rejected the woman's appeal against her 14-year sentence for allowing a 5-year-old Yazidi girl she and her husband kept as a slave when they were members of the Islamic State group in Iraq to die of thirst in the sun.
A new sentencing hearing for the woman, identified only as Jennifer W. in line with German privacy rules, ended in August with the 14-year sentence. The girl died in Fallujah, Iraq in August 2015. At the original trial, the court found that the defendant did nothing to help the girl — who had been chained by her husband in their courtyard — although doing so would have been “possible and reasonable.” The couple also kept the girl's mother as a slave.
