A Swedish woman, Lina Ishaq, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for genocide and war crimes against the Yazidi people while she was part of the Islamic State in Syria. She was found guilty of enslaving Yazidi women and children and has a history of involvement with IS, including taking her children to Syria. The case marks the first prosecution of IS crimes against Yazidis in Sweden. The Yazidi community has expressed hope that this prosecution will improve relations with local authorities.
