Amnesty International has accused the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) of systematic ethnic cleansing and mass killings of minorities in northern Iraq.

 

Citing harrowing accounts from survivors of massacres, the rights group says in a report published on Tuesday that they have committed “war crimes, including mass summary killings and abductions”.
“The massacres and abductions being carried out by ISIL provide harrowing new evidence that a wave of ethnic cleansing against minorities is sweeping across northern Iraq,” said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty’s Senior Crisis Response Adviser currently in northern Iraq.
