## Summary

A Yazidi woman has asked Australian authorities to let her give evidence in court about alleged abuse by Hodan Abby, an Australian who joined Islamic State in Syria. The woman, identified by a changed name, says she was enslaved as a child and that Abby beat and mistreated her; the allegations have not been tested in court.

Aisha says she was nine when she was kidnapped from Iraq and sold at an Islamic State slave market, and that Abby’s husband raped her. She contacted the Australian Federal Police in July, while a counter-terrorism team is working through legal steps to obtain information that could be used in court. Abby has permission to return to Australia and would face extensive monitoring; authorities have not announced charges against her.
