ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Yezidi House in Syria’s Cizere canton announced on Sunday it had received a 22-year-old Yezidi (Ezidi) survivor named Najla Saeed Ismail from the internal security forces in the Hasakah province.
The northeastern Syrian Yezidi House organization, an entity dedicated to affairs related to the religious minority, said in a statement that Ismail was received by security forces “ after she escaped from the grips of her ISIS captives.”
After an investigation to verify her identity, the 22-year-old was handed over to the Yezidi House who confirmed she would be returned to her family in Sinjar (Shingal).
