Zeinab Ahmad, a 31-year-old woman who joined ISIS in Syria in 2014, has been charged with crimes against humanity for her role in purchasing a 15-year-old Yazidi girl as a sex slave for £7,500. The Melbourne Magistrates Court heard that Ahmad's father, Mohammed, bought the girl for sexual exploitation and domestic duties. Witnesses allege that Ahmad stood by while her father repeatedly raped the girl and physically abused her. The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, reported being beaten and threatened by Ahmad, who ordered her to perform household tasks. After returning to Australia, Ahmad and her mother, Kawsar, were arrested and face serious charges, each carrying a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. The court proceedings continue, with authorities arguing that Ahmad poses a risk if released on bail, as she has not renounced her support for ISIS.
