BAGHDAD,(APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Feb, 2018 ) :An Iraqi court Monday sentenced a Turkish female citizen to death and ten foreign women to life imprisonment for joining Islamic State (IS) militants group, a judicial spokesman said, Xinhua reported.
"The Central Criminal Court issued a death penalty by hanging for a female Turkish citizen and issued ten verdicts of life sentences for other females from different nationalities," Abdul Sattar al-Biraqdar, spokesman for Iraq's Supreme Judicial Council said in a brief statement.
Biraqdar said that the all the sentences are preliminary and subject to review by the Court of Cassation.
In January, the court sentenced a female German citizen to death for joining the extremist group and providing logistical support to the terrorist organization that helped them to commit their criminal acts.
She was also convicted of complicity in attacking the Iraqi security forces. Thousands of IS militants and supporters from various nationalities had joined the extremist IS group when it took control of large swathes in Iraq and neighbouring Syria, but after the Iraqi forces defeated the group in Iraq, hundreds of IS loyalists were killed or captured, while many others were still at large either in hideouts in Iraq or abroad.
