Many countries are still grappling with how to treat citizens stranded after the so-called Islamic State collapsedImage: Baderkhan Ahmad\/AP Photo\/picture alliance<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Three French nationals on Thursday received sentences of life imprisonment in Iraq<\/a> after being convicted of joining the so-called “Islamic State<\/a>” terror group.<\/p>\n

The criminal court in Baghdad sentence Charly S., Kamal M, and Amir A. to life terms in prison which amounts to 20 years of imprisonment in Iraq.<\/p>\n

What more do we know?<\/h2>\n

The trio were found guilty of “the crime of joining the terrorist Islamic State organisation<\/a> and of having contributed, together with members of the group, to spreading terror,” an AFP correspondent said.<\/p>\n

Tuesday saw another six French nationals from the same group sentenced to life in prison and a seventh to 15 years for belonging \u200bto the Islamist militant group.<\/p>\n

All of the French nationals sentenced thus far belong to a group of 47 French nationals who were transferred from detention in Syria last year.<\/p>\n

The ‘Islamic State’s’\u00a0years of terror in Syria and Iraq<\/h2>\n

The militant group carried out a campaign of terror as it sought to establish a self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria from 2014 under its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.<\/p>\n

Thousands of foreign nationals from across the world joined the group, which carried out mass executions and other\u00a0atrocities, many of them\u00a0filmed and shared on social media platforms.<\/p>\n

Among its most heinous crimes was the capture and killing of thousands of Yazidis<\/a> in Iraq\u2019s northern Sinjar region. Many Yazidi women and children were forced into sexual slavery and other forms of enslavement.<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2014, IS also captured and killed hundreds of Iraqi military cadets at Camp Speicher in Iraq’s Tikrit in 2014, much of the massacre filmed and shared on social media.<\/p>\n

The terror group also carried out a series of executions of Western journalists and aid workers in highly choreographed videos as part of its media campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iraq, backed by US-led forces, proclaimed victory over IS in 2017, and along with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces would go on to ultimately defeat the group territorially in Syria two years later.<\/p>\n

The remaining fighters were eventually cornered and defeated in Baghouz in Syria’s eastern Deir Ezzor, near the Iraqi border in March, 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
