Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's In Baghdad, French jihadists convicted for membership in the Islamic State.

All three sides report the same convictions of French jihadists in Baghdad, with similar angles: the left and center emphasize the trial framework and the number of defendants, while the right focuses more on the succession of verdicts and the issue of the avoided death penalty.

Left

Emphasizes the first wave of convictions in a trial of 47 people transferred from Syria, and specifies the equivalence of life imprisonment (20 years under Iraqi law) as well as the grounds for guilt.

Centre

Highlights the first sentences by Iraqi justice against French nationals transferred from Syria and the number of defendants tried, using the terminology of guilt.

Right

Stresses the succession of verdicts (three new life sentences after the six on Tuesday) and, for one outlet, the fact that the convicted escape the death penalty provided for by Iraqi law.

Common points

  • =Six French nationals sentenced to life imprisonment and a seventh to 15 years by the Al-Karkh criminal court in Baghdad
  • =The defendants are tried for membership in the Islamic State
  • =The trial concerns French nationals transferred from Syria to Iraq the previous year
  • =A group of around 47 people is concerned by this trial

Divergences

  • ≠The right explicitly mentions that the convicted escape the death penalty provided for by Iraqi law, an element absent from left and center articles
  • ≠The left specifies the equivalence of Iraqi life imprisonment (20 years), a detail absent from the other sides
  • ≠The right highlights the three new life sentences that occurred two days later, an angle absent from the provided left and center articles
