Kidnapped, raped, beaten to the point of blindness in one eye, sold as a sex slave on the market. Farida Khalaf was 18 when her life was turned upside down by Abu Ibrahim Hashimi al Quraishi, the Isis leader killed yesterday in an American special forces operation in Syria and responsible for the hate campaign that led to the Yazidi genocide . And now he feels ” happy, very happy ” because “I have always wanted this person to be brought before a court and sentenced ” for the crimes committed, for the fatwas with which he ordered the genocide of the Yazidis. ” Now , at least, I feel relieved that he was killed and that our rights no longer depend on him ”, the future of a people.
As a survivor of the kidnapping and slavery that ISIS imposed on me, I am saddened and ashamed to think that criminals like Quraishi are still free and can spread their ideology. I would like all the criminals of Daesh (Arabic acronym for Isis) and all those like Quraishi to have the same fate. Only then will I feel safe and will no longer be afraid, ” she tells Adnkronos. ” I hope that the killing of this criminal can be a lesson for all others who share his ideology, so that they can lessen the suffering of women and fragile people, ” he added. Farida then addressed a thought to ” many of our loved ones who have been killed at the hands of criminals like al-Quraishi and who are still in mass graves, without being exhumed. It’s very sad”. As it is to think that “at least 2,500 people are still missing”.
Farida, who in 2016 published the book ‘The Girl Who Beat Isis’, published in Italy by Piemme with the title ‘The slave girl of Isis’, concludes by saying that she ” felt very happy to know that he is not there ” is more and that his ideology can end ”. Sure, she continues, ” I think it took too long for a criminal like him to be eliminated, but now let’s look at the result. People like al-Quraishi should be brought to justice as soon as possible and no longer released. ”
