The Australian ISIS bride accused of enslaving a Yazidi child: The fight for justice

Among the many revolting crimes of the failed Islamist movement ISIS was the enslavement and mistreatment of women and girls. They are Yazidis, a long-persecuted ethnic minority.  Now, a Yazidi woman says she was enslaved and raped as a nine year old girl in the house of an Australian woman, Hodan Abby. Abby - who’s not been proven to have done anything wrong - is still stranded in the Middle East and wants to come home. Her alleged victim, Aisha, wants Australia to hold her to account. That’s today’s story.
