Young survivors of ISIS recall how they were forced to dismember captured soldiers

Young survivors of the brutal Isis regime in Mosul have recalled how they were forced to dismember captured soldiers when threatened with their own death.

Mosul, situated in northern Iraq, has been the site of intense fighting since Kurdish forces and the Iraqi Army launched an assault to liberate it from ISIS control in October last year.

But now, some of the brutal regime’s youngest survivors have opened up on their horrific experiences under Isis rule.

Appearing in a new documentary, 11-year-old Hadya explained how she and her younger brothers, five-year-old Shadi and nine-year-old Fadi, had been forced to dismember captured soldiers.

In the documentary, produced by Australian news network SBS, she recalled: ‘He came along and said, “You cut off a foot, you cut off an arm, and you slash his face with a knife Otherwise I’ll take you away from your mother and kill you all.”

‘We were scared to refuse, we were each given a machete. I had to cut his hand off. I did it.” [Fadi] had to cut his feet off. Shadi had to cut his face with a knife.’

The horrific claims come after Iraq’s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared a ‘total victory’ over Isis in a visit to the city.

However, an Amnesty International report claims that a ‘huge number of civilians’ were killed as a result of bombardments by US and Iraqi led forces.

It is also claimed that Isis used civilians as human shields, and also hung bodies from electricity pylons to warn invading forces.
