Lamiya Haji Bashar stood defiant in the dock. Blood poured from her mouth and nose, while her body was covered with bruises – the result of another savage beating by her Islamic State captors, who used cables and weapons in addition to their fists and feet.

"I told him that if you cut off one foot then I will escape with the other. I told the judge I would never give up. So they replied they would keep on torturing me if I tried to escape." Lamiya

Lamiya was one of the several thousand Yazidi women and girls condemned to sex slavery, traded like animals and abused by barbarous fanatics.
Lamiya comes from the Yazidi village of Kocho in Iraq, where the 1,800 residents were told by ISIS to convert to Islam or die.

"I managed in the end, thanks to God, I managed to get away from those infidels. Even if I had lost both eyes, it would have been worth it, because I have survived them." Lamiya
