A Syrian court hears testimony from Zeinab Ahmad, 31, accused of crimes against humanity connected to her alleged role with ISIS. Multiple reports state she faces two counts, including enslavement and using a slave. Prosecutors and court proceedings describe allegations tied to ISIS systems for sexual violence, including claims that conduct was authorized through an ISIS “slave-rape handbook.” Ahmad pleads for freedom and tells the court she rejected ISIS after the group’s collapse, describing her later circumstances as captivity in a harsh camp in the Syrian desert. She is described as having spent about seven years in detention. The reporting indicates that the case is being considered within a judicial process in which the court weighs the charges against her statements and any evidence presented, including references to ISIS materials used to justify or structure abuse.
