Trading in human slaves

The ISIS Auction Market

According to Arabic sources, #ISIS / Da3sh have opened an Auction Market in #Mosul where Yazidi and Christian women taken as slaves are sold. Prices go from 500 to 1,000 dollars with a pledge to have them convert into a different faith. #Syria #Iraq

Part of the actual political program of ISIS and the forces which they represent is emerging--re-enslavement. Markets with slaves also showed up during the brief "independence" of Chechnya, which was also supported by the West and led by some of the mujaheddin veterans of the Afghan war before moving against Syria.
