Quote:LOST FOREVER ISIS’ 3,000 Yazidi sex slaves feared dead as hopes of finding any of them alive fadeSOURCE:
with collapse of evil ‘caliphate’
Despite some Yazidis making it to safety from the final ISIS stronghold of Baghouz, there are fears thousands of others
maybe dead.
'Fears are mounting for thousands of Yazidi women who were captured and used as sex slaves by ISIS fighters.
Figures suggest almost 10,000 Yazidis have either been killed or kidnapped by ISIS and there are horrifying accounts of
mass rape.
Many Yazidis have been able to flee the clutches of the terror group as it defends its final remaining stronghold in Baghouz,
eastern Syria, from the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces. One Yazidi woman held as a sex slave by ISIS burnt her veil
after being freed from the town this week.
But families of around 3,000 others still missing fear they may never see their loved ones again.
"We have had the same number of missing for years now. The problem is, not many are coming back,” Ahmed Burjus,
deputy executive director of Yazda, a Yazidi advocacy group told The Independent.
“We were hoping that many people would be liberated from Baghouz, but only 50-60 [Yazidis] have escaped."
The Yazidis are a religious sect whose beliefs combine elements of several ancient Middle Eastern religions.
But ISIS considers them devil worshippers and its attacks on the group were condemned as a “genocide” by the United
Nations. Salwa Sayed al-Omar spent years as a prisoner of ISIS but she escaped its clutches this week.
She fled its last populated enclave in east Syria along with two Iraqi boys pretending to be her brothers.
RAPED BY JIHADIS
She said: "A woman was shifted from one man to another unless it was to one who had a bit of mercy... if she was in good
condition, she would carry on. "If not, she would get married to avoid being abused."
Omar was eventually married to a Tajik jihadist but she escaped along with two Iraqi children, Mustafa and Dia, who had
been her neighbours.
Dr Paul Stott, from the Henry Jackson Society think-tank, told The Sun Online: "At least 3,000 Yazidis are missing from this
period. Many will be dead.
"Others will have undergone forced conversions to Islam, boys joining IS, girls serving the caliphate as domestic workers
and sex slaves.
"It must feel very strange to the Yazidis that people travelled from Britain to join the group responsible for their repression,
and even stranger still that some British politicians regard British ISIS members as, themselves, victims."
Despite the horror inflicted on the Yazidis, some ISIS supporters remain unrepentant.
One ISIS bride, dressed in a black niqab, who was being quizzed about the treatment of Yazidis, justified the rape of women.
She said: "They were prisoners of war, and they became slaves, it is in [the] Qur'an.
"They are property so in Islam you are allowed to use them - it's not rape in Islam.
"If it's in the Qur'an, then who am I to question [it]?"
There are roughly 700,000 Yazidis in the world, with the vast majority of them concentrated in northern Iraq, in and around
