Defence lawyers for a Briton accused of helping the terrorist group calling itself Islamic State (IS) torture and behead American hostages are trying to block evidence from a Kurdish girl kept as a slave.

The girl, identified as Jane Doe in court documents, was kidnapped aged 15 from Kurdistan in August 2014 and held by IS.
