Pure Evil: ISIS Murders Baby For ‘Training Purposes’ – Daniel Doherty

During the filming, the Dispatches team witnessed the biggest rescue so far when 34 Yazidis managed to escape Isis and walked across miles of Isis-controlled territory.

ISIS has carried out the “systematic sexual crimes” against girls from the Yazidi community since kidnapping more than 3,000 girls from their homes in northern Iraq last August.

“It can take a whole month to rescue one family, or sometimes one person”, says Khalil al-Dakhi, a Yazidi who has helped build this secret network. The group has consequently invaded towns and made off with hundreds of people, selling women as “sex slaves” and deeming girls as young as nine years old to be of marriageable age – which amounts to little more than an excuse to rape them.

ISIS have frequently used teenage fighters as suicide bombers, with several 14-year-old boys being radicalised into detonating trucks of explosives near enemy lines.

Terror network Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, via the Mirror, were the first to allege that ISIS members had gone to these extreme lengths as they sought to showcase the best way to strap explosives to a human. Khaleel, a local lawyer in the Channel 4 film, said: “Based on the information I have, I can say 80% were raped”. I will keep in contact with them, and work out where they are. As ISIS moved in, Watts says Dakhi decided to use his law skills to collect the testimony of Yazidis who have been targeted by ISIS.

The documentary focuses on both the women who rally behind ISIL’s cause and those who were forced into the organization as wives or slaves of terrorist leaders – using undercover footage and victim testimony to paint a haunting picture of what life “behind the veil” is truly like. Can you come and rescue me?

Channel 4’s Escape from Isis airs on 15 July at 10pm in the United Kingdom and on 14 July at 10pm on PBS and online in the US.
