Though not accused of direct violence, she’s charged with cruel treatment and forced labor. Prosecutors argue she poses a grave public safety risk, citing her continued support for ISIS and lack of renunciation since surrendering to Kurdish forces. The defense questions her autonomy under ISIS rule and her multiple marriages. With no bail conditions deemed sufficient, the court weighs whether releasing her could endanger the Yazidi community and others.
