An Iraqi man accused of being an Islamic State terrorist has gone on trial in a high court in Frankfurt accused of genocide, human trafficking, and the torture and murder of a 5-year-old Yazidi girl he had held as a slave in Falluja, Iraq.
*** His trial is believed to be the first in the world that carries the charge of genocide in relation to the Yazidis.
*** Taha Al-J., who is 27, is also charged with murder, crimes against humanity, war crimes and trafficking for the exploitation of their manpower and murder, according to the counts read aloud by the president of the five-judge panel in Frankfurt on Friday. The defendant, dressed in a patterned button-down shirt, declined to make an opening statement ... His trial centers on a mother and her child, members of the Yazidi religious minority who have been persecuted by the Islamic State, known as ISIS. The defendant and his wife bought, enslaved and tortured the 5-year-old and her mother, prosecutors said. The girl died in 2015 after being left chained to the bars of window in heat reaching 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
*** The defendant was captured in Greece and extradited to Germany a month after his wife’s trial started.
*** According to the indictment in Frankfurt, the defendant bought the mother and daughter and held them in his household in Falluja in the summer of 2015, where they were forced to keep house under strict Islamic rules. The prosecutors say the two were not given enough food or water and were regularly beaten.
The weakened child died after she was chained in direct sunlight in late summer of that year. During that time, Taha Al-J. ran the bureau of “Shariah exorcism” in Raqqa, Syria, once a stronghold of the Islamic State.

He was just following the example and instructions of his prophet and practicing his religion as spelled out in their “holy” texts............../s
Does Germany have any kind of groups in prison that kill guys like this or is that unique to America?
I’m not an expert on world prison gangs :-)
If there are only Muslim groups in prison he’s fine.
You must be thinking of that prisoner in California who beat two child molesters to death.
