Australia has charged two women who returned from Syria this month with crimes against humanity over their alleged roles in the Islamic State’s system of sexual slavery, joining a small group of nations prosecuting citizens for enslavement offenses.
Among them is Germany, where an IS member is serving 14 years after being convicted in a case involving an enslaved 5-year-old Yazidi girl chained outside in scorching heat until she died while her mother, also held as a slave, was forced to watch.
Kawsar Abbas, 53, faces charges of enslavement, possessing a slave, using a slave and engaging in slave trading, according to ABC News. The other woman, Zeinab Ahmad, 31, is charged with enslavement and use of a slave. A third woman faces terror-related offenses.
The charges each carry a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and are being brought for the first time under Division 268 of Australia’s Criminal Code, which covers crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.
