“#ISIS retreated from several #Yezidi villages because the scent of those they killed became unbearable,” Vian Dakhil said at the International Peace Meeting, held in Antwerp to mark the centenary of the First World War. “So far, 5,000 Yezidi #Kurdish #women have been kidnapped, and they are aged between 13 and 56 years old,” Dakhil said at the three-day meeting, which concluded Tuesday. Listing some of the crimes committed by #IS against her community, #Dakhil said: about 3,000 people were killed by hunger or the militants; women were sold in the markets of #Mosul for $150 each; infants were taken from their mothers; 250 children died on Mount #Shingal, where #Yezidis fled from the IS and struggled for survival for more than a week.
