The trial in Paris of five jihadists accused of the kidnappings and detention of four French journalists in Syria in 2013, and the perpetration of “acts of torture and barbarity” against their captives, which now enters its second week, has been hearing harrowing accounts of the survivors’ experiences at the hands of the Islamic State group. It also heard the moving accounts by the wife and two daughters of British aid worker David Haines, who was held alongside the French hostages and finally beheaded by his Islamic State captors.
