Iraq has begun prosecuting members of the Islamic State who were previously detained in Syrian prisons. The trials mark a new legal chapter for foreign and local fighters captured during the fall of the ISIS caliphate, raising questions over sentencing, repatriation and accountability. Coverage highlights the challenge both countries face in handling thousands of detained suspects years after the group's territorial defeat.
