Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's Iraq: French jihadists sentenced in Baghdad.

All three sides report the same sentencing of French jihadists in Baghdad, with discrepancies in the count of sentences and in the contextual elements highlighted (overall trial, transfer from Syria, avoidance of the death penalty).

Left

Highlights the first wave of sentencing in the trial of a group of 47 people transferred from Syria, and cites the charge retained by Iraqi justice ("membership in the terrorist group Daesh", "spreading terror").

Centre

Stresses the first sentences handed down by Iraqi justice against French nationals transferred from Syria, within the trial of 47 jihadists, and repeats the charge of "membership in the terrorist group Daesh".

Right

Stresses the total number of convicted (ten, then three new), the transfer from Kurdish camps in Syria, and, for one outlet, the description of individuals as "very high risk" who escaped the death penalty provided for under Iraqi law.

Common points

  • =French nationals have been sentenced in Baghdad for membership in the Islamic State
  • =Six defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment and a seventh to 15 years in the first wave
  • =Around 47 French nationals transferred from Syria to Iraq last year are being tried
  • =The sentences were handed down by the Al-Karkh criminal court

Divergences

  • ≠The count of convicted varies: six or seven depending on the headlines, and a right-wing outlet mentions ten convicted then three new
  • ≠The mention of escaping the death penalty and the "very high risk" designation appears only in a right-wing outlet
  • ≠The date of October 26 appears in a center headline, while other sources indicate October 27
  • ≠The reference to Kurdish camps in Syria as the point of departure for the transfer is present only in a right-wing outlet
