In the summer of 2014, Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) militants attacked the city of Mosul and then continued an assault across the Nineveh Plains. They decimated the historic homelands of the Christian and other minorities and displaced more than 100,000 people in a matter of days.
The next month, ISIS began a brutal assault on the Yezidi community in the Shingal (Sinjar) region. In a few short days, the group had killed over 10,000 Yezidis. Another 6,417 were kidnapped, and many of them were sold into sexual slavery. Hundreds who did not flee faced beheadings, crucifixion, sexual enslavement and forcible conversion.
On August 3, Hudson Institute will host a discussion on the current state of the ethnic and religious groups that were attacked by ISIS in the 2014 Nineveh Plains and Mosul offensives. The Hon. Bayan Sami Abdul Rahman, Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Representative to the United States, will deliver keynote remarks, followed by a panel that will include Kent Hill, executive director of Religious Freedom Institute; Free Yezidi Foundation Board Director Paris Ibrahim; Sherri Kraham Talabany, President of the SEED Foundation; and Loay Mikhael with the Iraq Haven Project. The panel will be moderated by Senior Fellow and Director of Hudson's Center for Religious Freedom, Nina Shea.
