An Iraqi court has opened the trial of six French nationals suspected of membership in the terrorist group ISIS, with officials warning they could face the death penalty if convicted of crimes against Iraq and its people.
The defendants were previously among a group of 47 French ISIS detainees transferred from prisons in northeast Syria last year. This relocation process was part of a broader effort overseen jointly by United States forces and Iraqi authorities.
