Sonia M., revenante de Syrie et ancienne épouse d’un chef des opérations extérieures de l’Etat islamique, a été inculpée en France pour crime contre l’humanité et génocide, soupçonnée d’avoir réduit en esclavage une yézidie mineure en Syrie, ont indiqué samedi des sources judiciaire et proche du dossier.

La partie civile, aujourd’hui âgée de 25 ans, avait 16 ans quand elle a été achetée par Abdelnasser Benyoucef, alias « Abou Moutana ». Cet homme aurait revendiqué être l’un des commanditaires de l’attentat de l’Hyper Cacher à Paris en 2015, d’après Sonia M.

Selon des éléments de l’enquête révélés samedi par le quotidien Le Parisien et dont l’AFP a eu connaissance, la yézidie a dénoncé un quotidien de maltraitance lors d’une audition à Erbil (Irak) en février dernier.

Elle affirme avoir été séquestrée, pendant plus d’un mois au printemps 2015. Elle raconte qu’elle ne pouvait pas boire, ni manger ou se doucher sans l’autorisation de Sonia M. Elle accuse cette dernière de l’avoir violentée à deux reprises et d’avoir été au courant que son mari la violait.

Interrogée et inculpée le 14 mars par un juge d’instruction antiterroriste, Sonia M. a contesté avoir commis tout sévice et dénoncé « un seul viol » de son ancien époux. L’adolescente « sortait librement de sa chambre, mangeait ce qu’elle voulait, allait aux toilettes quand elle avait besoin », a-t-elle affirmé d’après son interrogatoire dont l’AFP a eu connaissance. Elle a aussi affirmé qu’elle ne portait pas de pistolet, comme le raconte la yézidie.

Kidnappée en août 2014 en Irak, l’adolescente a été vendue à plusieurs familles djihadistes.

Sonia M. a affirmé que son mari ne lui avait pas « demandé son avis ». « Il m’a dit que cela allait être, je n’aime pas ce mot, son esclave, que c’était un droit qu’on lui avait octroyé et que je n’avais pas le droit de le contredire, que c’était un ordre divin ». Elle a assuré qu’elle n’aimait pas donner des ordres et faisait elle-même le ménage quand son mari s’absentait.

Le juge d’instruction, qui l’avait d’abord mise en cause comme complice en septembre 2022 d’après une source judiciaire, l’a finalement inculpée comme auteure, conformément aux réquisitions du Parquet national antiterroriste (Pnat).

Si, à l’issue de l’information judiciaire, Sonia M. est renvoyée aux assises, « ce premier procès d’une revenante pour crime contre l’humanité mettra à l’épreuve la capacité de la France à juger des crimes de guerre commis en Syrie », a estimé Me Romain Ruiz, avocat de la yézidie.
