The court noted that the defendant's husband had brought the victim into the household and beat and raped her regularly. Nadine K. had enabled and encouraged this, the court found.
Jesus Christ, goddamn animals.
Yazidis are Kurdish speakers who mostly believe in Yazidism, a monoteistic religion. This is probably where "aiding and abetting genocide" fits into this. It's not just slavery, but subjugation of members of a minority group by a racist hate group. It's the difference between a psycho holding a woman captive and a nazi enslaving a Jew. Both horrific, but one has larger implications.
