New Delhi: In another horrific act the Islamic State Group has reportedly executed 19 women in Iraq’s Mosul for refusing to have sex with fighters, a Kurdish Democractic Party (KDP) official claimed, according to reports.
The official further added in the reports that women were held as hostage in Islamic State’s stronghold of Mosul, which was seized in June last year.
“The captured women were put to death as they refused to ‘participate in the practice of sexual jihad’,†the official said.
In the report, the Investigating ISIS’s sex trade, UN’s special envoy for sexual violence in conflict Zainab Bangura exclaimed that ‘girls get peddled like barrels of petrol’ and one can be bought by six different men. She added that there is also something called as a ‘price list’ that’s circulated among ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria.
The sex slaves who managed to escape from the clutches of the ISIS have said that they were forced to marry fighters who sexually abused them. In October last year, the ISIS had reportedly released a pamphlet that mentioned how much it charged for the purchase of its female captives, report added.
Meanwhile on Thursday, ISIS militants had abducted dozens of Christian families after seizing a strategically located town in the central Syrian province of Homs, a monitor said on Friday.
