Al Hol camp: Yazidi women abused under the eyes of international organizations
26-8-2019
Following the death of a Yazidi woman by ISIS women at Al Hol Camp in Syria ( https://bit.ly/2L58ljw), the mayor of Sinjar, the stronghold of Yazidis in Iraq, Mahma Khalil, said in a statement yesterday that women in the camp are being brutally beaten and humiliated. He appealed to the Iraqi government and the government of Kurdistan-Iraq, as well as spiritual authorities and the international community to rescue them. The said camp which is run by the Syrian Democratic Forces and international organizations, is a hotspot for appalling violations of human rights against Yazidi women, who are not allowed to return home to their families, Khalil said. Such violations are a disgrace to these organizations who turn a blind eye to similar abuses, Khalil added. Ironically, these organizations transfer and sort out ISIS families while refuse to evict Yazidi victims of ISIS out of the camp, he concluded. (Al Diyar, August 26, 2019)
