A German woman is currently on trial on allegations that she allowed a 5-year-old Yazidi girl to die of thirst in Iraq.
The woman and her husband have kept the little girl as a "slave" in an ISIS-held territory.
The 27-year-old, identified only as Jennifer W. in line with privacy rules, is charged with murder, a war crime and membership in a terrorist organization in the Munich trial that opened Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.
According to prosecutors, the woman was an ISIS "morality police" and she and her husband "bought" the Yazidi girl as a "slave" back in 2015.
The husband chained the girl outdoors as punishment for wetting her mattress and W. allegedly did nothing to prevent her death.
AP reported that the girl's mother is a co-plaintiff in the case and her lawyers include Amal Clooney, who wasn't in court Tuesday.
