Whereas the European press is locked between liberals and conservatives as to what should be done with the ISIS fighter held by Iraqis, either send them back to Europe or not, when it comes to ISIS fighters of Middle-Eastern origin, the Iraqi judges are not wasting time.

Yesterday they sentenced 16 Turkish ISIS brides to ‘death by hanging’ for participation with Daesh (the Arabic acronym name for ISIS) during the occupation of the northern part of their country for the past two years.

Judge Abdul-Sattar al-Birqdar said he sentenced the women “after it was proven they belong to the Daesh terrorist group and after they confessed to marrying Daesh elements or providing members of the group with logistical aid or helping them carry out terrorist attacks.”

More than 1,300 women and children loyal to ISIS have been captured by Iraqi forces after the Kurdish Peshmerga ran over the jihadist forces in the northern city of Tal Afar.

Furthermore, some 400 of those are of foreign origin. Iraq has vowed to put them all on trial.

Turkey has not yet reacted to the news.

Human Rights Watch, the international NGO pushing for fair trials of these women, claims that the sentences are "unfair," as they argued many of the women were “tricked or coerced” to join ISIS and had no idea what they were doing.
