- Two teenage Yazidi girls have described the horror of being capture by Isis
- Aged just 15 and 19, they saw men from their community mercilessly killed
- Both were taken away to be sold on to men in the Iraqi city of Mosul
- Hundreds of other Yazidi females suffered a similarly traumatic fate
- The girls said some considered suicide rather than enduring their ordeal
They have described being tortured and forced to watch videos of men from their community being beheaded.
Some, they said, were so traumatised by their experiences that they tried to commit suicide. However, those that tried to kill themselves were severely beaten by Isis fighters.
Yazidi teenager Sara, 15, said that she considered suicide many times after she was kidnapped by Isis.
Her horrifying ordeal began in the Sinjar village of Tal Azir on August 3 when Isis fighters advanced towards them.
Along with her mother, her brother and his pregnant wife, they fled towards the mountains, but Isis caught up with them at a remote farmhouse.
The women were separated from the men – who were simply mown down by machine gun fire in one of the rooms.
Sara was bundled onto a pick-up truck and taken to Mosul, where she was held with hundreds of others prior to being sold off.
She told Globalpost.com: 'We would try to make ourselves look ugly. Some women would cry or scream or fight, but it made no difference. They were always taken anyway. One girl hung herself. Another tried, but the IS guards stopped her and beat her very badly. No one else tried after that.'
Sara, who described Isis fighters as 'dirty, with hairy faces and smelling bad' was eventually sold to 'an old man and a fat man'.
She said that they would show her videos of Isis militants beheading her neighbors.
