He has also been indicted on charges of being a member of a terrorist organization and charges of violating the German Weapons Control Act.
German prosecutors accused Wenisch and her husband, members of ISIS, of “buying” a Yazidi woman and daughter as slaves. The two “bought” people were captured in Mosul, Iraq, in 2015.
“After the girl fell ill and wet her bed, the husband of the defendant chained her outside as punishment and allowed the child to die of thirst in the scorching heat,” the prosecutor’s indictment read, as quoted AFP.
“The defendant let her husband do it and did nothing to save the girl.”
Wenisch’s husband, Taha al-Jumailly, also faces trial in separate proceedings in Frankfurt, where the verdict will be handed down in late November 2021.
