Lina Ishaq
Lina Ishaq, a 52-year-old Swedish woman, was recently sentenced to twelve years in prison by a Stockholm court for genocide and slavery of Yazidi women and children in 2015. She was found guilty of crimes against humanity and war crimes as part of the Islamic State's broader campaign against the Yazidi minority. The court highlighted her role in keeping victims in captivity, treating them as property, and facilitating their transfer to other ISIS members. This case marks a significant legal precedent in Sweden regarding accountability for crimes committed by ISIS against the Yazidis, a group that suffered severe persecution during the conflict. Ishaq was already in detention after being convicted in 2022 for enabling her 12-year-old son to join the jihadist group.
