During DAİŞ was attacking to Sinjar, I was on road of Mosoul-Raqqa and I saw numerous murdered Yazidi women and children on the streets” says Mihemed.




Mihemed also says he was detained for a period because he didn’t follow rules of DAİŞ. “ Leader who detained me had bought 16 Yazidis women for 300 thousand dollars. Mostly Chechens, Afghans, Kyrgyz and Uzbeks among DAİŞ were buying Yazidis women. But after Raqqa and Mosoul operations began, they destroyed the slave’s bazaar and continue to do this business in the houses. Mostly foreigners of DAİŞ were buying those women. There were some people who were buying women with their daughters. If women have son, DAİŞ were educating them as gangs” says Mihemed.




“Women were being sent to basements in Sinaa Neighborhood. Most women of in Sinaa Neighboorhood were given to leaders of DAİŞ as gift. Then those women were given to some other people. The location where Yazidis women were kept made forbidden for civilian. No one could get in those zones except DAİŞ members” says Mihemed.




“ Seller of Yazidis women were mostly from Algeria citizens of DAİŞ. Women were embellished before they were selling to men. But there were some people who were buying Yazidis women for rescuing them. A friend of mine had bought seven Yazidis women to rescue them. But his head was cut on road of Mosoul.
