Iraq Sentences 15 Female ISIS Operatives to Death By Hanging
They'll have a chance to appeal.
An Iraqi criminal court on Sunday sentenced 15 Turkish women to death by hanging after finding them guilty of belonging to the Islamic State or Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a judicial official said. Aged between 20 and 50, the women said they had entered Iraq illegally to join their husbands who were heading to fight for the self-proclaimed "caliphate" straddling vast areas of Iraq and Syria, the official added.
Four of the women, all of whom were dressed in black, were accompanied by young children in the courtroom, he said.
A recent batch of women similarly convicted are claiming their husbands "tricked" them into joining ISIS.
