Australian Court Considers Bail for Woman Accused of Enslaving Yazidi Teen
In Melbourne, Australia, Zeinab Ahmad, a 31-year-old woman, is seeking bail in a case where she is accused of enslaving a Yazidi teenager in Syria. Ahmad, along with her mother, has been charged with slavery offenses after returning to Australia from a Syrian refugee camp. The court heard that Ahmad is willing to wear an electronic monitoring device and undergo religious counseling if granted bail. The charges stem from allegations that a Yazidi woman was enslaved in the Ahmad family home in Raqqa, Syria, during 2017 and 2018. The case is notable as it involves charges of crimes against humanity, which carry severe penalties.
