ISIS bride and her mother charged after they ‘helped dad buy 15-year-old s£x slave for £7,500 for purposes of r@ping’

An ISIS bride whose family bought a teenage sx slave for 7,500 has been charged with crimes against humanity. Zeinab Ahmad, now 31, is said to have forced the 15-year-old girl to perform domestic duties and stood by as she was repeatedly r@ped by her father. Zeinab abandoned her nursing studies in Melbourne, Australia, to join ISIS in Syria, where the alleged offences occurred, in 2014. Her father Mohammed allegedly told the girl: I bought you for the purpose of r@ping and at the same time serving the home.   Melbourne Magistrates Court also heard that the father said to his family: I bought her for sx and to do housework. He bought the teen as a slave with his wife in Raqqa, the capital of ISIS-controlled Syria, police told the court. The alleged victim was brought back to the family home which the parents shared with their five daughters Zeinab witnessed her father hit the girl and drag her by the hair down two flights of stairs, it is alleged. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was beaten two or three times a month while the family watched on, police said. Detective Senior Constable Marc Clendenning told to the court Zeinab, then aged 22 and 23, did not physically hurt her, although she did threaten her very badly and ordered her to do things around the house. In an interview with the police, the girl said that Mohammed sxually assaulted her many times. She was sold on more than a year later after Mohammed told her she was bad and did not follow orders, local media in Australia reports. Zeinab and her mother Kawsar Ahmad were among a group of ISIS brides arrested last month when they returned to Australia from Syria. Zeinab is charged with two counts of slavery. She is accused of helping her family to enslave a Yazidi girl a member of the Kurdish ethnic minority which lives in Syria. The girl is said to have been one of more than 6,800 Yazidi women and children who enslaved and repeatedly r@ped by members of ISIS. Zeinab asked to be released on bail in Melbourne magistrates court on Thursday, June 4. The Australian Federal Police have argued she would pose an unacceptable risk if she was released on bail. Detective Clendenning said Zeinab had been married to multiple members of ISIS and was still the wife of an ISIS member currently being searched for by police. He told the court: The accused has never explicitly renounced or stated that she no longer supports Islamic State since her surrender to Kurdish forces. She is charged with two crimes against humanity: enslavement and use of a slave. Her mother Kawsar is charged with four crimes against humanity. Each holds a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. The two-day hearing continues on Friday, June 5. The post ISIS bride and her mother charged after they ‘helped dad buy 15-year-old sx slave for 7,500 for purposes of r@ping’ appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
