An Iraqi court has sentenced a Turkish woman to death by hanging for joining ISIS, a spokesman for the criminal court in Baghdad said in a statement on Monday.
Ten other women of various nationalities were sentenced to life in prison, he said. All the verdicts can be appealed.
“The court has issued ten verdicts of life in prison against ten women after convicting them of terrorism, and sentenced to death by hanging another terrorist who holds Turkish citizenship,” said Judge Abdul-Sattar al-Birqdar.
Thousands of foreigners have been fighting on behalf of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Reuters reported.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared final victory over ISIS in December 2017, after the last ISIS remnants were driven out from the country, three years after the terrorist group captured about a third of Iraq's territory.
