12 ISIS widows have been given different sentences for their involvement with terror organization in Iraq. A Turkish woman was sentenced to death while the other 11 women of foreign origins were sentenced to life imprisonment by an Iraqi court.
The women are aged between 20 and 50 years and were arrested in Mosul or Tal Afar, where their husbands were killed as Iraqi forces recaptured the northern cities from ISIL in 2017.
11 of the women maintain that they were either forced or duped into traveling to Iraq by their husbands. But they were found guilty under Article 4 of Iraq’s anti-terrorism law against “any person who commits, incites, plans, finances or assists in acts of terrorism,” and for illegal entry into the country.
