General Info:
Nils Donath is a German national who was sentenced to 10 years behind bars for murder. He tortured a man to death at a prison run by Islamic State (IS) terrorist group in Manbij, Syria, in 2014.

Donath was a member of the “Lohberg Brigade”, a group of Islamist extremists from the Dinslaken-Lohberg region, north of Dusseldorf.

Members of the group had traveled to Syria in order to join the Islamic State terrorist group.

Donath was guarding one of the terror group’s prisons in Manbij, a city located near Syria‘s border with Turkey.

According to the German court, he took part in punishing a prisoner which resulted in the man’s death.

He had already been sentenced to four and a half years for being an Islamic State member in March 2016.

As a member of the terrorist group, Donath took part in 10-15 missions, in which he helped to track down deserters, fully aware they would be tortured to death.

Donath reportedly began to speak to German investigators after they found a photograph on his mobile telephone of him holding his gold-plated Browning pistol to a prisoner’s head.
