MUNICH - A German woman who joined the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria extremist group went on trial on Tuesday accused of the war crime of letting a five-year-old Yazidi"slave" girl die of thirst in the sun.
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nadia Murad, herself a Yazidi survivor of ISIS enslavement and torture, said the Munich trial"is a very big moment for me, and for the entire Yazidi community". "After the girl fell ill and wet her mattress, the husband of the accused chained her up outside as punishment and let the child die an agonising death of thirst in the scorching heat," prosecutors charge.German media said the defendant's husband, Taha Sabah Noori Al-J., had beaten both the Yazidi mother and child, and that Jennifer W. allegedly also once held a pistol to the woman's head.
Recruited in mid-2015 to an anti-vice squad of the group's self-styled hisbah morality police, she patrolled city parks in ISIS-occupied Fallujah and Mosul. When she left the mission, she was arrested by Turkish security services and extradited several days later to Germany. Jennifer W. allegedly said that the child's death had been"hard-core even for the ISIS" and unjust because only God had the right to use fire as punishment. Her husband had later been beaten as punishment by the ISIS, she said.
She's white?

The defendant, identified only as Jennifer W., 27, faces life in jail if found guilty of committing a war . Please stop with misleading information. Life in jail in Germany does not mean life. You will maybe spend 5-15 years in a comfortable jail with access to internet and phone and visitors. Germany and all of Europe is very soft on criminals.
