Women told not to speak of abortion details

ISIS members forced pregnant sex slaves to have barbaric abortions that leave the women bleeding heavily and in so much pain they are unable to speak or walk.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Young Yazidi women who escaped their lives as ISIS sex slaves opened up to CNN and described what happened to pregnant slaves.

Twenty-one-year-old Bushra, whose name has been changed to retain her anonymity, spoke of a friend who was three months pregnant when she was captured. ISIS forced her to abort.

Bushra said she "asked her what happened and how they did it. She said the doctors told her not to speak." Bushra said her friend bled heavily and was in so much pain "she could not talk or walk."

Jihadists brought their own gynecologists to the slave markets in Iraq where captured Yazidi women were forced to have abortions so they could be used to satisfy their owners' lusts.

Another young woman called Noor, to protect her identity, admitted the jihadis she was sold to waited two days before raping her. "He showed me a letter and said, 'This shows any captured women will become Muslim if ten ISIS fighters rape her.'"

Following her rape, she was given to 11 of the jihadist's friends who all raped her.

Both Bushra and Noor shared stories that represent what has been happening to thousands of Yazidi women for years. Islamic State fighters have captured up to 500 women and children in the Sinjar region alone. 

The Yazidi pray to Melek Taus, which translates to "Peacock Angel." ISIS fanatics see the Yazidi as "devil worshippers" and their twisted version of Islamic law gives Yazidi a choice to be converted to Islam or be killed.

Last month, Yazidi advocates urged the International Criminal Court in the Hague to investigate Yazidi persecution as a case of genocide.

ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda met with two Yazidi groups who submitted a report with allegations against IS fighters since August 2014.

The report included a summary of executions of over 700 Yazidi men and the enslavement of thousands of women and the abduction of their children, who were forced to convert to Islam and fight for ISIS.
