In Mosul, Iraq, Daesh extremists have publicly burned alive 19 Kurdish women who rejected to be the militants� sex slaves.

The cruel execution took place Thursday on�one of�the squares of�Mosul, the Iraqi stronghold of�Daesh, in�front of�hundreds of�residents. On the site, Daesh terrorists reportedly locked the women in�an iron cage and burned them alive.

"They were punished for�refusing to�have sex with�Daesh militants," local activist Abdulla al-Malla told the Kurdish news agency ARA News. "Nobody could save�them from�the savage execution."

Radical ISIS seized the north of�Iraq in�2014. Around 400,000 residents managed to�flee the territory, but�tens of�thousands of�the local Yazidi population couldn't escape. In recent years, many representatives of�the religious minority have been murdered, abducted and raped.

Thousands of�Yazidi women and girls are being kept by�Daesh militants as�sex slaves, often traded around, and denied food and rest. Those who escaped say some women have committed suicide to�save themselves from�the horror of�being a Daesh captive.
The UN estimated that the terrorist group keeps some 3,500 people in�slavery, mostly Yazidi women. In the territories occupied by�Daesh, any person of�a different religion or opposes their regime can be converted into�a slave. The Yezidis, an ethnic group that has its own synthetic religion, are considered devil-worshipers by ISIS.


Daesh, also known as�the ISIS, is an Iraq, Syria and Libya-based terrorist group that adheres to�what it believes to�be a pure version of�Islam. They justify their numerous crimes, including cruel forms of�capital punishment, by�the tenets of�how they imagine the religion.
