ISIS Used Mosul Church to Rape and Imprison 200 Yazidi Girls, Iraqi Army Officer Says

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 64%. (I'm a bot)


In the basement of an decimated church in eastern Mosul, rubble and debris tell a gut-wrenching story of ISIS' depravity towards Yazidi women and girls.

Iraqi officials tell Fox News that at least 200 Yazidi girls and women were imprisoned in the historic Syrian Orthodox Church of St. Ephraim, one of the region's largest Christian sites, which was freed by Iraqi forces several months ago.

On February, a captured ISIS terrorist said he raped more than 200 women from Iraqi minorities, and shows few regrets, according to the Reuters.

Amar said his emirs, or local ISIS commanders, gave him and others a green light to rape as many Yazidi and other women as they wanted.

Amar said he moved from house to house in several Iraqi cities raping women from the Yazidi sect and other minorities at a time when ISIS was grabbing more and more territory from Iraqi security forces.

Witnesses and Iraqi officials say ISIS fighters raped many Yazidi women after the group rampaged through northern Iraq in 2014.
