En 35-årig fransk kvinde, Sonia Mejri, står over for rettergang for folkedrab, forbrydelser mod menneskeheden, herunder slaveri, tortur og voldtægt, som stammer fra hendes tid sammen med sin tidligere ægtemand, Abdelnasser Benyoucef, en central ISIS-skikkelse, i Syrien i 2015. Mejri og Benyoucef er anklaget for at have begået grusomheder mod en ezidisk teenagepige, som de gjorde til slave. Benyoucef angiveligt voldtog og torturerede pigen, mens Mejri er anklaget for at have medvirket til disse handlinger, herunder forsøg på at tvinge offerets konvertering til islam.
