An ISIS couple who kept two young Yazidi girls as slaves and subjected them to years of rape and torture have been locked up. Twana HS and Asia RA were arrested by police in Germany back in April 2024.

They faced harrowing charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, according to Bild. Justice has now caught up with them. Twana HS has been handed a life sentence, while his wife Asia RA was given nine-and-a-half years behind bars.

The Iraqi couple operated within territory controlled by the bloodthirsty Islamic terror group in Iraq and Syria between 2015 and 2017, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office and the Higher Regional Court of Munich revealed.

During their reign of terror, the couple first enslaved a helpless five-year-old Yazidi girl, before later snatching a 12-year-old girl.

The two young victims were treated as their property and forced to do gruelling housework while being brainwashed with radical ISIS ideology.

The couple banned the girls from practicing their own faith, instead forcing them to follow Islam.

According to prosecutors, Twana HS repeatedly raped both children and his wife was fully complicit in the depraved abuse.

Investigators revealed that she actively supported the crimes, even preparing a room and putting makeup on one of the girls before the sickening assaults took place.

The physical torture the girls endured was relentless as Twana HS beat the older girl with a broom handle.

Meanwhile, Asia RA scalded the younger girl’s hand with boiling hot water and both children were repeatedly forced to stand on one leg for hours as punishment.

When ISIS began losing its grip on the region towards the end of 2017, the couple fled, but they didn’t set their victims free. Instead, they callously passed the girls on to other members of the terror network.

The pair managed to evade justice for years until they were tracked down and arrested in Germany. Asia RA was pinned down in Regensburg, while her husband was cornered in the town of Roth, both located in the southern state of Bavaria.

The victims belong to the Yazidis, a Kurdish-speaking religious minority from northern Iraq who have faced brutal genocide at the hands of ISIS.

The terror group has slaughtered hundreds of Yazidi men, raped women and forced young children to become child soldiers.

It is not the first time German courts have cracked down on ISIS monsters. In 2023, a German woman who joined the jihadist group was handed a 14-year jail term by a Munich court for enslaving a five-year-old Yazidi girl and letting her die of thirst.

The extremist, a German convert to Islam, was initially convicted in October 2021 of, among other charges, two counts of crimes against humanity through enslavement – one case resulting in death – and membership of a terrorist organisation abroad.

She originally received a ten-year stretch, but the Federal Court of Justice threw it out, ruling that judges had erred in sentencing the defendant for a “less severe case” of crimes against humanity and overlooked aggravating circumstances.

The new sentencing hearing for the woman, identified only as Jennifer W. in line with German privacy rules, ended in August that year with a tougher 14-year sentence. The court ultimately rejected her appeal as “manifestly unfounded”.
