Did this really happen? This is what Google says:
In June 2016, reports emerged that ISIS militants burned 19 captive Yazidi girls to death in Mosul, Iraq, by placing them in iron cages. Witnesses alleged the execution was punishment for refusing to serve as sex slaves for the fighters. The victims were among thousands of Yazidi women and girls abducted following the 2014 Sinjar attack.
Key details of the reported atrocity include:
- The Incident: Reports stated the women were burned in public, witnessed by hundreds, as a "lesson" to the community.
- Context: ISIS militants considered the Yazidi religious community as "devil-worshippers" and used sexual slavery as part of a campaign of genocide.
- Verification Challenges:While widely reported, some human rights investigators at the time indicated difficulty in verifying the specific incident through local sources in Mosul, leading to debate over the details, [says a 2016 report from SBS News.
Despite debates over specific incidents, the United Nations and other international bodies have confirmed that ISIS engaged in widespread sexual slavery, forced conversions, and public executions against the Yazidi population starting in 2014.
