Mosul, Iraq: ISIS terrorists executed 19 Yazidi girls who refused to be sex slaves by burning them alive inside iron cages, news site ARA News reported.
The victims were set ablaze in the centre of Mosul on Thursday, June 2nd, in front of a large crowd, ARA News reported, citing activists and witnesses.
"They were punished for refusing to have sex with ISIS terrorists," media activist Abdullah al-Malla was quoted as telling ARA News.
"The 19 girls were burned to death while hundreds of people were watching. Nobody could do anything to save them from the brutal punishment," a witness said.
ISIS terrorists took over 3,000 Yazidi girls as sex slaves after they overran Sinjar in northwest Iraq in August 2014, causing a mass displacement of nearly 400,000 people to Duhok and Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan.
ISIS continues to hold about 1,800 abducted Yazidi women and girls in Iraq and Syria, according to Kurdistan regional government officials.
During a lightning offensive in 2014, ISIS captured Mosul, making it the 'capital' of its self-styled Caliphate, which extends across a swathe of territory in Iraq and Syria.
Supported by airstrikes from the US-led coalition, by Kurdish Peshmerga troops and a Shia-dominated paramilitary force, Iraqi forces on March 24 began a long-awaited offensive to re-take Mosul from the terrorist group.
