According to
Sunday Times, doctors are performed illegal abortions on underage pregnant
girls as young as nine who were kidnapped and raped by deranged Islamic State
fighters.
The traumatized children are from the Yazidis religious minority community after an estimated40,000 them were taken at gunpoint by ISIS thugs in August last year.

Thousands of
girls and women torn from their homes in Iraq were raped, tortured, forcibly
married and enslaved. Many of the traumatised victims have found their way back
to families in Kurdistan battered, broken, humiliated and many of them
pregnant.
Dozens are
reportedly having illegal abortions and many are also secretly seeking surgery
to reverse the loss of their virginity.
A teenager
told how when she was 13, she was kidnapped by ISIS thugs and regularly tied up
and raped - one of them was even trying to make her pregnant.
But she and two other girls escaped their
captors by tying bed-sheets together and climbing out of a second floor window.
The girl
said:
"I try not to think about it. When I do,
I get hysterical and start throwing things at my family. If I ever saw him, I
would like to cut him to pieces.”
One of the
youngest victims who fell pregnant is a 9-year-old girl, according to
Canadian-based aid worker Yousif Daoud.
He said
"This girl is so young she could die if
she delivers a baby. "Even a caesarian section is dangerous. The abuse she
has suffered left her mentally and physically traumatised.”
More than 200
elderly and infirm Yazidis were freed earlier this month by Islamic State
militants. They were handed over to Kurdish forces near the city of Kirkuk and
many were too exhausted and disoriented to speak. The Yazidis thought they were
being led to their execution, but instead, were piled onto a minibus that drove
them to peshmerga positions in batches.
It was not
clear why the radical jihadists had decided to release the Yazidis, whom they
consider devil-worshippers, but the group previously freed 200 more it was
holding under similarly mysterious circumstances.
One elderly
woman said she had been captured by the insurgents last August when they
overpowered Kurdish forces in the Sinjar area and proceeded to purge its Yazidi
population, killing hundreds and taking thousands captive.
The woman,
who asked not to be named, said she had told her son and two young daughters to
run away as the militants closed in, but stayed behind herself because she was
unwell and did not want to slow them down.
