23 sentenced to death in Libya for ISIL involvement.
A Libyan court has sentenced 23 people to death and another 14 to life in prison for their role in a deadly ISIL campaign that included beheading a group of Egyptian Christians and seizing the city of Sirte in 2015. The group took advantage of the chaos and warfare in the North African country that followed a 2011 NATO-backed uprising. The court sentenced three minors to 10 years in prison each. Hundreds of alleged former ISIL fighters remain jailed in Libyan prisons, many of whom are still awaiting trial.
