The Islamic State bragged Sunday that it has seized Yazidi women and children as the spoils of war and are now selling the teens as sex slaves, which they argue is their right “firmly established” by Islamic law.
The group boasted about their conquests Sunday in an English-language propaganda magazine. The Washington Post reports that the news was the first confirmation of widespread allegations of detention and sexual abuse against the Yazidi, hundreds of whom were captured as ISIS rampaged through northern Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of the Yazidi were able to escape the region, but thousands did not. The men were slaughtered, while hundreds of women and children were captured.
