An Iraqi couple, accused of being members of the Islamic State, is facing trial in Germany on serious charges including genocide and human trafficking. They allegedly enslaved two Yazidi girls between 2015 and 2017, with one being bought as a dowry for the wife. Prosecutors claim the girls suffered severe abuses, including torture and sexual exploitation. The case is part of Germany's broader commitment to prosecute IS war crimes under universal jurisdiction principles, addressing the systematic violence against Yazidi women used by IS to undermine their community.
