The Islamic State Are Committing Ethnic Cleansing On A 'Historic Scale', Says Amnesty Empty The Islamic State Are Committing Ethnic Cleansing On A 'Historic Scale', Says Amnesty

Survivors have told how Islamic State militants are committing ethnic cleansing on a "historic scale" and threatened to wipe Iraq's ancient minorities off the map forever, according to a new report from Amnesty International.

The tales of bloodshed, torture and intimidation from survivors are limitless. Some described to the charity how men and boys were bundled into pick up trucks, taken to the outskirts of villages , forced to squat at the edge of hastily dug graves and shot execution-style. Others told how Yazidi women and girls were taken away from their families as slaves for the militias, threatened with rape.

Women and girls who recently managed to escape IS captivity told Amnesty they had witnessed forced marriages, with girls told that if they refused, they would be sold into sexual slavery. Survivors told the charity they had escaped before threats had been carried out.
