A Yazidi woman who was captured and made a sex slave was starved for three days and was finally given food, which she quickly consumed before finding out the meat was actually her one year old son. ISIS considers Yazidi men and women as devil worshipers because they are neither Arab or Muslim. ISIS murders most Yazidis they capture except for the women whom they use as sex slaves.
During a harrowing television interview, Dakhill told Egyptian TV channel Extra News: ‘One of the women whom we managed to retrieve from ISIS said that she was held in a cellar for three days without food or water.
‘Afterwards, they brought her a plate of rice and meat. She ate the food because she was very hungry.
‘When she was finished they said to her: “We cooked your one-year-old son that we took from you, and this is what you just ate”.’
The interviewer had to pause to wipe away tears as he took in the sickening details.
But Dakhill revealed yet more atrocities carried out by the extremist group, which is on the retreat in northern Iraq after a US-backed push by the country’s armed forces.
She revealed that one little girl, aged just ten, had been raped to death before her father and five sisters.
‘One of the girls said that they took six of her sisters,’ she said.
‘Her younger sister, a ten-year-old girl, was raped to death in front of her father and sisters. She was ten-years-old.
‘The question that we ask yourselves is: “Why? Why did these savages do this to us?”.’
The beliefs of the Yazidi community combine elements of several ancient Middle Eastern religions.
When ISIS swept across northern Iraq almost three years ago, it carried out massacres against the minority which the United Nations said qualified as genocide.
Most of the several hundred thousand members of the minority live in northern Iraq, mainly around Sinjar, a large town which anti-ISIS forces have now retaken but was largely destroyed.
In 2014, ISIS jihadists captured Yazidi women and turned them into sex slaves to be sold and exchanged across their self-proclaimed ‘caliphate’.
Around 3,000 of them are believed to remain in captivity. A number of mass Yazidi graves were uncovered in 2015.
