“ISIS
jihadists have reportedly executed up to 600 Yazidi hostages,
including many women and children, in the Tal Afar district in
northern Iraq, according to local media and Kurdish sources. The mass
executions have been taking place some 50 km from Mosul since Friday,
according to a local official from the Kurdistan Democratic Party
(KDP), Hassan Khallo. He told Kurdish news agency BasNews that the
terrorists have been bringing their prisoners, including many women
and children, into one place.”
“The
brutal execution of prisoners from the Yazidi community of the Sinjar
Mountains was carried out by the Sharia Court of the Islamic State
group, ARA news reported.”
“Nujaifi
[governor of Nineveh province in Iraq] was quick to point out that
ISIS is 'degrading' Islam with their brutal crimes, as he called on
the Muslim cleric community expose IS’s heresies. The Yazidi
Progress (al-Taqadom) Party confirmed the mass murder, however
stating a lower death toll of about 300 people. The statement
released on Saturday condemned the 'heinous criminal act.' The group
called on the international community and the Iraqi government to
intervene and secure the release of remaining Yazidi hostages,
thousands of whom are still in captivity since IS first raided their
villages last summer.”
“Meanwhile
Shahin Shingali, a fighter in the ranks of the Peshmerga forces, told
ARA news, that without direct intervention from the West, Iraq see
further 'genocides' against innocent people.”
