A mass grave including the decapitated heads of 50 Yazidi women held captive as sex slaves by IS was unearthed by international forces in the Eastern Syrian town of Baghuz this week.

It is believed that IS beheaded and buried many of the women they held captive in Eastern Syria this week because the Syrian Democratic Front are closing in on the terrorist group's last strongholds in the region. There was no time to on-sell these captive women into the sex slave market and transporting them while on the run would have been too difficult.

This week, Yazidi-Australians and their allies demonstrated in Wagga Wagga, Coffs Harbour and Toowoomba as part of simultaneous global protests calling on the UN and governments across the world to help free their sisters, daughters, cousins and friends. Recent figures from the UN Office of Drugs and Crime show during the height of IS’s territorial control, the market in sexual slavery could have contributed up to $USD21million to the caliphate’s economy.

No such thing as a peaceful religion.

A bit slow on the uptake SBS, your professional credibility is waning. They were found by British SAS and, it was (at least) seven days ago.

Horrific. Perpetrated by the Religion of Peace.

When Mohammad attacked the Banu Qurayza, he approved the beheading of 600 Jews and the women taken as slaves.

Bloody shocking

So very sad

Never heard of Yazidi women arriving in Australia & probably won't hear of IS Australian fighter-cowards coming back to this country! Que?

Heartbreaking

Yet we have to show humanity to the surrendering animals?
