(National-UAE) A state court in Koblenz, Germany, has convicted a 37-year-old woman, known as “Nadine K,” on multiple charges, including crimes against humanity, membership in a foreign terrorist organisation, and aiding and abetting genocide on Wednesday, according to the German news agency dpa.

Following her time with ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the court found Nadine K guilty of keeping a young Yazidi woman as a domestic slave for three years, during which her husband subjected the captive to regular sexual abuse.

Prosecutors highlighted that the accused was aware of her husband’s actions and failed to intervene.
