A relevant keyword search on Google led us to the same video posted on The Middle East Media Research Institute’s (MERMI) Facebook page in 2017. According to the information, the woman being interviewed was Yazidi Iraqi Mp, Vian Dakhil. During the interview, she was mentioning the atrocities by ISIS against Yazidi people. Around 6,900 Yazidi women, young boys and girls were kidnapped by ISIS. Young boys of age between 4 and 10 were snatched from their parents and were trained to be terrorists.
Further, she mentioned another incident where a Yazidi woman was kept in prison hungry for many days and was later fed the meat of her child. Another 10-year-old girl was raped to death in front of her parents and siblings.
According to the Independent’s report in 2017, the lady in the video is Iraqi MP Vian Dakhil. She was talking about the ISIS situation and their atrocities against the Yazidi citizens whom they considered as devil worshippers.
The same video was uploaded in MEMRI’s Twitter handle on 26 June 2017.
