A German court has sentenced an ISIS terrorist group’s member to 10 years in prison for war crimes and murder committed in Syria, including the beating of a prisoner who later died in custody.

The man, who was not named, travelled to Syria from Germany and joined ISIS in March 2014, according to a statement on Wednesday from the Duesseldorf court after the verdict.
