Northern Iraq: Fear of ISIS massacre of 500 Ezidi men – êzîdîPress English Edition:
In the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar and ISIS stronghold west of Mosul, several hundred Ezidis are being held captive since August last year. After dozens of women, children and in some cases men managed to escape from Tal Afar following an intensification of armed clashes with Peshmerga and HPS forces in recent days, the terrorist organization now seems to prepare a massacre of its male prisoners.
Dr. Mirza Dinnayi, Ezidi politician and former adviser to the Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, reported with reference to an eyewitness that ISIS had separated circa 500 boys and men from the rest of the prisoners in response to the latest increase of successful escapes from the terrorist organization. A source verified this news in a phone call with ezidiPress. The men were apparently brought to Jino town in Tal Afar where they are supposed to be massacred.
