German court sentences IS widow over Yazidi slaves A court in Hamburg has sentenced the widow of an 'Islamic State' terrorist to extra jail time. The woman admitted to using enslaved Yazidi girls to clean her home.

(Deutsche Welle) A German court on Thursday sentenced the woman, Omaima A., to additional jail time for using slave women to clean her home.

The 37-year-old, already convicted of belonging to the “Islamic State” (IS) militant group, had already admitted the offense, the DPA news agency reported.

The court confirmed to DW that a previous sentence of three and a half years would be extended to four years in total.

The defendant told the court that, at the beginning of 2016, she had two Yazidi slave girls clean her living quarters. Omaima A., the widow of former rapper and IS fighter Denis Cuspert, said she got in contact with the girls through a friend but admitted it was clear to her they were there against their will.
