An Iraqi court sentenced 16 Turkish women to death by hanging for joining Islamic State. A judiciary spokesman on Sunday said the central criminal court issued the sentences after it was proven they belong to the Daesh terrorist group.
Judge Abdul-Sattar al-Birqdar said the women also confessed to marrying Daesh elements or providing members of the group with logistical aid or helping them carry out terrorist attacks.
He said, all the verdicts can be appealed.
