Opposition-linked Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Saturday that at least 27 Izadi women had been sold for approximately $1,000 each to Syria-based ISIL terrorists.

The opposition-linked group further noted that it was aware that some 300 Izadi women had been kidnapped and taken to Syria by the ISIL, but it had so far documented the sale of 27.

In recent weeks around 300 Izadi women and girls “who were abducted in Iraq have been distributed as spoils of war” to ISIL militants, the SOHR said in a statement, adding that it documented “at least 27 cases of those being sold … in the northeast of Aleppo province, and parts of Raqa and Hassakeh provinces.”

The group also claimed some Syrian Arabs and Kurds had tried to buy some of the women in an attempt to release them, but they were only being sold to ISIL Takfiris.

It is not clear what had happened to the rest of the 300 women, said the Observatory.

Earlier in August, UN religious right monitor Heiner Bielefeldt warned of reports of women being executed and abducted by the ISIL terror group.

“We have reports of women being executed and unverified reports that strongly suggest that hundreds of women and children have been kidnapped -- many of the teenagers have been sexually assaulted, and women have been assigned or sold to” ISIL militants, he said.

The ISIL terrorists currently control parts of Syria and Iraq’s northern and western regions, where they have been committing heinous crimes, including the mass execution of civilians and Iraqi security forces.
