War
crimes and crimes against humanity by ISIS
ISIS war crimes as well as crimes
against humanity continue to grow. There has been report of ISIS carrying out genocide
on the Yaziid people in Iraq. A report has been published from the Human Rights
office that gives details of the horror that these people are going through.
Killings, torture, rape, and sex slavery is ramped in the towns that are being
taken over. The report that came out is based off of interview of 100+
witnesses and survivors of these awful attacks. Systematic and organized
attacks are place on the Yazidi people.
The men and boys over the age of 14 are taken an executed while the
younger ones are sent to become child soldiers. Women and girls are raped and
or sold to the sex slave business. Boys are
forced to convert to Islam and are taught to be soldiers, watching videos of
executions. The Yazidi people were not given choices like the Christians who
got overrun got. In other places people
were given the choice to convert, pay a tax, or leave. Here they we just picked
up and marched off to be executed.
The inhumanity that is taking place
in these towns that are being taken over by ISIS is horrific. There is
testimony from witnesses and victims that confirm that there are foreign
fighters from many different countries within ISIS. One witness apparently
described how people were executed and then cadets kicked around the heads of
these people like footballs. The Iraqi government has been seeking help
from the UN rights office and is trying to assure that there will be
accountability for these crimes that are taking place.
