Iraq sentenced one of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's wives to death for aiding ISIS in kidnapping and detaining Yazidi women, a long-awaited justice for the genocide in 2014.
Mr. al-Baghdadi's wife, Asma Mohammed, was identified and captured by Turkish forces before being placed in Iraqi custody, marking a significant step towards accountability for ISIS atrocities.
The Islamic State killed thousands of Yazidis, capturing and enslaving many, including Kayla Mueller. Mr. al-Baghdadi himself held sexual slaves before his death in 2019.
