The uncle of ISIS bride Zeinab Ahmad has offered to put up a $75,000 bail surety to take her home, just a few weeks after he clashed with media at Melbourne Airport.

Ahmad, 31, is facing two counts of crimes against humanity, including enslavement and using a slave.

She applied for bail in Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Thursday. The court heard on Friday that her uncle, Abraham Abbas, had offered to house her if she was released.

Mr Abbas, the brother of Ahmad’s mother and accused slaver Kawsar Abbas, was accused of pushing a camera into the face of a Herald Sun photographer as he snapped ISIS bride Kirsty Rosse-Emile and her two children at the airport on May 26.

Before entering the witness box, the court heard Mr Abbas wished to swear to tell the truth on the Quran, but one was not available.

‘It doesn’t bother me your honour,’ he said before taking the oath on the Bible.

Once sworn in, Mr Abbas said he was willing to put up the cash to have his niece live with him and his family in his five-bedroom home.

The court heard Mr Abbas was a self-employed motor mechanic who lived in the house with his wife and two adult children.

‘I can give them comfort, support, financial support while she gets herself on her feet,’ he said.

Asked by Ahmad’s lawyer, Grace Morgan, what he thought about ISIS, Mr Abbas gave a blunt response.

‘I hate those b****rds,’ he said.

‘Sorry for the language. They’re evil and they don’t represent anything we believe in Islam at all.’

Chief Magistrate Lisa Hannan adjourned Ahmad’s bail application to next week, where more witnesses are expected to be called.

On Thursday, the court heard that a teenage captive, who was kept in the same bedroom as Ahmad, was allegedly repeatedly raped by Ahmad’s father.

Detective Senior Constable Marc Clendenning told the court Ahmad had forced her family’s young slave to clean the home while being routinely raped by her father.

It was alleged the slave was taken to the Ahmad household by her previous owner in June 2017 for inspection, before being purchased two days later for US$10,000.

Det Clendenning alleged Ms Ahmad slept in the same bedroom as the captive, where she also allegedly kept a Glock pistol.

‘She ordered [the slave] to perform domestic labour, including serving her and making her undertake cleaning within the house,’ he said.

The prosecution alleged Ms Ahmad helped keep the captive hostage, saying she actively participated in ‘her deprivation of human rights’.

‘Such behaviour and actions are consistent with being a member of, or closely aligned with, Islamic State as detailed in propaganda, ideology and statements in relation to having a slave,’ the court was told.

The court heard Mohammad Ahmad – Ahmad’s father – routinely assaulted the girl, punching and dragging her down two flights of stairs on one occasion.

‘I bought you for sex and housework,’ she was told.

The court heard the girl told police Mohammad Ahmad – who is now in a Syrian prison – allegedly attempted to sexually assault her within the first month.

The court heard she attempted to fight off the alleged attacker but was overpowered.

‘She shouted as loud as she could on each occasion,’ Mr Clendenning said.

The court heard the entire family, including Ahmad, had been present in the home when the attacks happened.

‘(She) stated they would have heard her shouting on many occasions,’ the detective said.

Graphic details of the alleged rapes were aired in court.

After one rape, Mohammad allegedly quipped: ‘I am finished and my sperm covered your body,’ the court heard.

The slave later claimed Ahmad had acted ‘like a deputy’ in the household, the court heard.

She was allegedly held by the Ahmad family for more than a year before being passed to another captor because she was deemed a ‘bad’ slave.

The court heard Ahmad’s husband was killed during the conflict, writing in a note before his death that he was a ‘martyr’.
