The Islamic State (Isis) has executed 250 women in Mosul after they refused sexual slavery to jihadi fighters, say Kurdish officials. Daesh (Isis) has forced so-called ‘sexual jihad’ on thousands of captured women from Kurdish, Yazidi and Shite territories in the past two years.
In the heart of their self-declared caliphate in Iraq, Mosul, is slowly being cornered by Iraqi troops, Kurdish forces and Western-led airstrikes.
US President Barack Obama declared on 18 April that he believes that the city will be liberated by the end of 2016 as Nineveh province crumbles to pressure from the north, south and east.
Obama has said he will send further support to the Iraqi military to take back territory that was captured by Isis who chased out the Iraqi army in June 2014.
Mosul, which sits in the north of the country where thousands of Kurds and Yazidis — considered apostates and so brutally treated by the extremists — once lived.
But as their homelands fell to the jihadists, their women
were captured and sold on a macabre sexual slavery market – governed by ancient laws from almost 1,500 years ago.
The women are often transferred between fighters and forced into taking birth control to ensure the illicit trade continues.
