Lina Ishaq, 52, was found guilty of holding three Yazidi women and six Yazidi children as slaves in Raqqa between 2014-2016 in September last year.

"The convicted woman was part of the large-scale enslavement system which IS introduced for Yazidi women and children," said Stockholm District Court presiding judge, Maria Ulfsdotter Klang.

In early August 2014 IS invaded Yazidi settlements in the Sinjar region launching a genocidal campaign against them.

IS members tortured their detainees and subjected them to strategic sexual violence aiming to eradicate the Yazidi people, according to the UN.

Dawood Khalaf, chairman of the Yazidi association in Skaraborg has said Ishaq's prosecution has helped build trust between the community in Sweden and local authorities.
