Isis sex slave becomes UN ambassador

New York 13 Sep (ANA) - A brave Iraqi woman who survived life as an ISIS sex slave yesterday took on a UN position to highlight the atrocities and met her human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. Nadia Murad was captured and sold into slavery aged just 19 after jihadis stormed her town in the northern Iraq and killed her entire family, as well as 300 others in the Yazidi genocide of August 2014. But the brave Iraqi escaped and told her story and today, met Mrs Clooney, who will represent her and thousands of other woman victimised by ISIS as they take their human rights case to the International Criminal Court. Mrs Clooney, an advocate for the thousands of women raped and enslaved by ISIS terrorists in Iraq and Kurdistan, wants to see jihadis in the dock in The Hague on trial for crimes against humanity. Nadia met Mrs Clooney and regional Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Green) in Stuttgart, as she takes on a new role as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations on human traffickers. Her campaign has already won her a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, and she will now go on to tell her story all over the world to highlight the plight of the thousands of sex slaves who have been abused by ISIS.(ANA)
