After ISIS abducted her in Sinjar, Iraq, in August 2014, Yazidi survivor Sherihan Rasho ended up being detained in the “Aqab” prison in the Syrian city of Idlib.

“Oqab” was not an ordinary prison, but a slave market run by Turkey, where Sherihan lived the life of “slaves” and suffered terror behind the bars of his prisons that stretched from the city of Kansafra to Deir Sunbul and Hashem in the center of Jabal al-Zawiya, where he is led by Jabhat al-Nusra, known as HTS, Backed by Turkey and Qatar.

Shocking details shared by 23-year-old Sherihan after she, her disabled brother, and her neighbor were enslaved by Iraqi neighbors who joined ISIS and fired their first bullets into the chests of those living with them in the city of Snuni, where the Yezidi woman descends from.

In her interview with “Sky News Arabia”, the Yezidi girl recalls the death journeys she lived with the organization between Syria and Iraq, to ​​devastate it in the horrible prison of death called the city of Idlib.

ISIS spread 6 years ago in the towns and cities of Shengal, the original home of the Yazidis in Iraq, and horrific acts of genocide led them to take refuge in the mountains to escape death and massacres, according to Sherihan.

The beginning, as Sherihan recounts, was led by “Sheikh Salem Al-Jazrawi”, his Iraqi neighbor who joined ISIS, adding: “The sounds of bullets and takbeers were everywhere in my city. We ran out of the scared, my mother and my disabled brother Salem and my neighbor Sherine went up the mountain to take refuge in it, but an armed ISIS patrol, including our neighbors, was waiting for us and took us hostage after killing my mother, to the village of Khansour “.

With whips, sticks, deprivation, hunger and fear, Sherihan, who was 16 years old at the time, spent her days with thousands of Yazidis who were collected from various villages including: Tal Qasab, Rumbossi, Kujo, Tal Banat, and Khansour, to be taken by buses to Mosul and Raqqa.

Sherihan told Sky News Arabia that “3 slave traders reminded them of their surnames, namely: Abu Hamza, Abu Musa and Abu Hajar. They were the first to sell them in the slave markets in Iraq, after forcing her and 19 women Yazidis to wear immodest clothing. “

Sherihan was taken to a farm owned by Abu Saeed, who was the first to buy her and raped her. She went on to say, “When she found out about my pregnancy, I hit my stomach with her military boots with a heavy punch that aborted the fetus after that, and I almost lost my life from the severity of the bleeding, and I wished I could die so I could rest from my torments “.

The Yazidi survivor continues to tell her story, saying: “Abu Saeed sold me back to Abu Abdullah and Abu Khattab al-Jazrawi, and then to Abu Anas al-Iraqi, so selling deals at Abu Nasser’s house al-Shami ended up as a servant and sex slave. “

The survivor, Sherihan, no longer counted the sales operations between Iraq and Mosul, but the last of which was the crossing from Raqqa to the Al-Nusra Front areas in the city of Idlib.

This time, the slave traders bought it at the front, namely Abu Abdullah al-Daghestani and Abu Khaled al-Iraqi, who came from Idlib to Raqqa, and then went through the Hama camp to Jabal al-Zawiya.

According to Sherihan’s account, her owner sold her to Dagestan and the Iraqi, and the latter detained her in “al-Oqab” prison, which she described as hell.

She added: “It was a very large prison with many dark rooms, no sound louder than the screams of the tormented inside, especially the (incredulous atheist women) in the eyes of the jailers.” And he continued: “There was a slave market where Kurdish, Yazidi and Christian women were bought and sold, and even Syrian Arab women … Being incarcerated.”

The archaeological prison “Aqab” is located underground between the areas of Kafr Nabl and Al-Bara in Jabal Al-Zawiya. According to Idlib activists, they revealed to Sky News Arabia that there are several prisons for the terrorist group Al-Nusra Front in the city, but the “Aqab” prison is supervised and managed by Turkish intelligence.

For his part, Abu Omar al-Adlabi, the leader of the Liwa al-Shamal al-Idlib faction, whose fighters come from the city of Idlib and its countryside, told Sky News Arabia, describing the “punishment prison” as a “death prison”.

The commander of the Northern Idlib Brigade, which is under the Syrian Democratic Forces, explained to “Sky News Arabia”: “Eqab Prison is an ancient archaeological building with many rooms, which is used as cells to imprison selected people. by Turkish intelligence inside, and includes a large underground courtyard for investigation and interrogation. ” Under the ugliest and dirtiest types of torture against humanity. “

Al-Idlibi noted that “this prison is run by a person named (Abu Turab Jabha), a Syrian national, and one of the people known as extremism.”

He revealed that “there are about 50 women detained in the prison”, explaining: “Among them are Afrin Kurds, Yazidis, Alawites and Christians, who are tortured as male prisoners with electric shocks, and raped as infidels.”

Al-Idlibi referred to the presence of detainees in “punishment” since 2013, indicating that it is a prison supported by the Brotherhood and the Turkish government, which gives orders to kill people or extend their detention indefinitely.

According to international reports, in August 2014, ISIS enslaved more than 6,000 women and children.

Reports also indicated that there are more than 8,000 Yazidis missing, along with the displacement of some 350,000 of them in camps for displaced people in northern Iraq.
