Story angles
This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's French jihadists tried in Baghdad: convictions and guilty plea.
All three sides report the same convictions of French jihadists in Baghdad, with discrepancies in the sentencing count and contextual elements highlighted (overall trial, transfer from Syria, escape from the death penalty).
Left
Highlights the first wave of convictions 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 by Iraqi justice against French nationals transferred from Syria, as part of 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 more), 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 by Iraqi law.
Common points
- =French nationals have been convicted in Baghdad for membership in the Islamic State
- =Six defendants were sentenced to life 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 convictions were handed down by the Al-Karkh criminal court
Divergences
- ≠The convicted count varies: six or seven depending on headlines, and a right-wing outlet mentions ten convicted then three more
- ≠The mention of escaping the death penalty and the 'very high risk' description appears only in a right-wing outlet
- ≠The date October 26 appears in a center headline, while other sources indicate October 27
- ≠The reference to Kurdish camps in Syria as the transfer starting point appears only in a right-wing outlet
