In Iraq, the trial of six French jihadists continues in Baghdad. Only one of the six men, all taken to Syria while they were minors, was brought before the judge this Wednesday. Arrested in 2018 by the Syrian Democratic Forces, they were then transferred to Iraq. A sensitive case, which raises judicial issues between Paris and Baghdad around the fate of these French detainees. Marie-Charlotte Rupie's clarifications from Baghdad.
