Baghdad: The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) announced on Wednesday that a court has sentenced a member of the ISIS terrorist group to life imprisonment.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the PMF stated, "Thanks to the efforts of the Investigations and Preventive Security Directorate of the General Directorate of Security and Discipline within the PMF, the competent court issued a life sentence against a member of the ISIS terrorist organization, after completing the legal and investigative procedures against him."

His involvement in terrorist activities and his membership in the organization were confirmed after the completion of the evidence and legal procedures against him.
