514 foreign IS members convicted in Iraq: court
The Iraqi judiciary has tried and sentenced 514 foreigners since the start of 2018 for joining the Islamic State group, the country’s Supreme Court announced yesterday. Another 11 were acquitted and released, it said. The statement referred to “different nationalities” but did not list any specific countries. It said interrogations were taking about six months for those simply accused of IS membership, but anyone accused of actively taking part in the jihadist group’s operations could be questioned for up to a year.
