ISIS Burns 80 year old Assyrian Woman in North Iraq

27/5/15

(AINA) — According to a report by the BasNews agency, ISIS burned an 80 year-old Assyrian woman to death in a village southeast of Mosul. Citing Sa’ed Mamuzini, a representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) office in Mosul, BasNews stated in its report that the woman, who was from Karamlis, was burned for failing to comply with Islamic Sharia law.

Lying about 10 miles northeast of Baghdede (Qaraqosh), once the largest Assyrian city with a population of 50,000 Assyrians, Karamlis is one of dozens of Assyrian villages in the Nineveh Plains surrounding Mosul, which was partially overrun by ISIS on August 7 of 2014, causing 200,000 Assyrian to fell their villages (AINA 2014-08-07). Nearly all have not returned and are living as refugees in Ankawa and Dohuk.
