World’s first trial for genocide against Yazidis set to conclude in Germany
A former IS member is the first alleged jihadist prosecuted for genocide against the Yazidis. Allegedly he enslaved a Yazidi girl and her mother in Iraq, then tortured and murdered the 5-year old child in 2015. If the court concludes that he has committed genocide, then it will be the first time that a court says that crimes against Yazidis by IS are genocide.
