Iraqi Couple Charged in Germany with Yazidi Sex Slavery
In April, German authorities arrested an Iraqi couple, Twana H.S. and Asia R.A., on charges of enslavement, torture, and war crimes. The couple, alleged members of ISIS, are accused of holding two Yazidi girls, aged 5 and 12, as slaves between 2015 and 2017. Prosecutors allege the man repeatedly raped both girls, while the woman participated in their abuse and the girls suffered severe physical violence. The prosecution contends these actions were intended to destroy the Yazidi religion.
