A young
Yazidi woman forced into sex slavery by the Islamic State begged the
West to bomb the brothel where she was being held after militants raped
her 30 times in just a few hours, it is claimed.
The
unidentified woman is understood to have been kept as a prisoner of the
jihadists somewhere in western Iraq having been captured by ISIS during
the Sinjar massacre in early August.
A
group raising awareness of ISIS' persecution of women in the vast
swathes of the Middle East under its control said the woman had
contacted Kurdish peshmerga fighters by telephone to plead for the
brothel to be bombed to put the women held as sex slaves out of their
misery.
She
allegedly told the fighters she had been raped so frequently that she
could no longer use the toilet, adding that the ordeal has been so
harrowing that she plans to commit suicide even if freed.
Horror: The woman said she had been
raped so many times by ISIS militants (pictured) that she could no
longer use the toilet, adding that the ordeal has been so harrowing that
she plans to commit suicide even if freed
No life: 5-7,000 Yazidi women are also
being held in makeshift detention centres by ISIS, where they either
been taken away and sold into slavery or handed over to jihadists as
concubines
Details
of the woman's brutal experience at the hands of the Islamic State
emerged during an interview with Kurdish activists staging
demonstrations in London to raise awareness of the plight of women in
the Middle East.
During an interview with BBC World Service, a man identified as Karam described how a friend embedded with the peshmerga took a phone call from the Yazidi woman.
Describing
the woman as crying on the phone, Karam quoted her as saying: 'If you
know where we are please bomb us... There is no life after this. I'm
going to kill myself anyway - others have killed themselves this
morning.'
'I've been raped 30 times and it's not even lunchtime. I can't go to the toilet. Please bomb us,' he claimed the woman added.
Brutal: Last week the UN confirmed
that thousands of Yazidis were slaughtered in scenes reminiscent of the
Bosnian Srebrenica massacre when ISIS swept through northern Iraq in
August
The
group of Kurdish activists to which Karam belongs have been staging
protests in central London to raise awareness of the plight of women
living under the brutal oppression of the Islamic State.
Among
their recent demonstrations was the establishment of a mock-slave
market where niqab-wearing women were seen chained together while masked
men used loudspeakers to auction them off to the highest bidder.
A
video of the group's fake slave auction - run to shock those living in
the West into confronting the grim reality of ISIS rule - has already
been viewed more than 265,000 times on YouTube
The group says they used information provided by sources on the ground to help them portray the scenes authentically.
Displaced: A group of Yazidi women
are photographed living in a refugee camp near the Syria-Iraq border
having fled Islamic State militants during the Sinjar massacre

Last
week the UN confirmed that thousands of Yazidis were slaughtered in
scenes reminiscent of the Bosnian Srebrenica massacre when ISIS swept
through northern Iraq in August.
Researchers,
piecing together reports of attacks, have now concluded that more than
5,000 Yazidi were gunned down in a series of massacres by jihadist.
A
further 5-7,000 women are also being held in makeshift detention
centres, where they either been taken away and sold into slavery or
handed over to jihadists as concubines.
Five detention centres in the town of Tal Afar is thought to hold around 3,500 women and children.
MYSTERY OF AMERICAN JOURNALIST KILLED IN CAR CRASH IN TURKEY... JUST DAYS AFTER CLAIMING INTELLIGENCE SERVICES HAD THREATENED HER OVER COVERAGE OF THE SIEGE OF KOBANE
An
American journalist has been killed in a car crash in Turkey just days
after claiming she claimed the Turkish intelligence services had
threatened her over her reporting of the siege of Kobane.
Serena
Shim, who worked for Iran's state-owned Press TV as Turkey
correspondent, died in the city of Suruc after the car in which she was
travelling reportedly collided with a 'heavy vehicle'.
Shim's
death came just days after she spoke on camera of her fears of being
arrested, claiming Turkish intelligence agents had accused her of spying
after one of her reports suggested ISIS militants were being smuggled
back and forth over the Syrian border in the back of aid vehicles.
Tragic: Serena Shim, who worked for
Iran's state-owned Press TV as Turkey correspondent, died in the city of
Suruc after the car in which she was travelling reportedly collided
with a 'heavy vehicle'
Shim,
an American citizen of Lebanese origin, had been working in Turkey for
Press TV - the Iranian state-owned television network.
In
a report published on the company's website, it is claimed she had been
in a rental car on the way back to her hotel in the town of Suruc in
Urfa Province when the 'suspicious' accident took place.
Neither
the 'heavy vehicle' nor the driver involved in the crash have been
located after the incident, Press TV claimed, adding that her parents
'refused to believe' the crash had been an accident and are planning to
pursue the matter legally.
Press
TV's account of the crash has been somewhat disputed by Turkish
newspaper Hurriyet Daily News, however, who said the vehicle involved
was a cement mixer and that the as-yet-unidentified driver had been
arrested at the scene.
Death: Serena Shim's death came just
days after she spoke on camera of her fears of being arrested, claiming
Turkish intelligence agents had accused her of spying
Only last Friday Shim was interviewed on camera by Press TV about her fears of being arrested by Turkish intelligence agencies.
In
the short interview she alleged that she had been approached and
accused of spying after a report in which he said she claimed to have
received images of Islamic State terrorists being smuggled over the
Turkey-Syria in vehicles belonging to the World Food Organization and
other aid groups.
Shim
described herself as 'surprised' at the accusation, 'because I have
nothing to hide and I have never done anything aside my job.'
