Anlässlich des andauernden Genozides an den Jesid*innen fand in der Innenstadt von #Hannover eine Demonstration statt.

2014 fiel der IS in den jesidischen Gebieten ein, tötete und verschleppt tausende Menschen, darunter größtenteils Frauen, von denen viele bis heute in Gefangenschaft sind und der Verbleib vieler unklar ist.

Auf dem Camp wurde dazu der Film #Heza gezeigt.
Wir teilen den Aufruf zur internationalen #Solidarität mit allen Betroffenen.

(Der Begriff Frauen ist hier auf Wunsch Betroffener bewusst gewählt.)

On the occasion of the ongoing genocide against the #Yazidis, a demonstration took place in downtown Hannover.

In 2014, the IS invaded the Yazidi areas, killing and kidnapping thousands of people, mostly women, many of whom are still in captivity today and the whereabouts of many are unclear.

The film Heza was shown at the camp.
We share the call for international solidarity with all those affected.

(The term women was deliberately chosen here at the request of those affected.)

#Shengal was a well prepared #genocide

➡️ Before the massacre, the Kurdistan Democratic Party #KDP seized all the weapons of the Yazidis

➡️ When #ISIS approached, KDP’s Peshmerga forces withdrew & even took some of the PKK guerillas into custody who came to rescue the #Yazidis

Iraq Yazidis: The 'forgotten' people of an unforgettable story

"Like nearly 7,000 other Yazidi women, Bahar was enslaved and brutalised by IS fighters - and some 3,000 women and children are still believed to be enslaved by IS. "

From Saad Murad (Tw): In the last couple of days, we’ve tracked about 17 mosque imams, and religious leaders in the #Kurdistan_Region of Iraq who labeled #Yazidis as #infidels and #devil worshippers. This dangerous development threatens peace and social cohesion and must be stopped. We all should stand together against hate speech and Incitement to violence. @kurdistan

A #Yazidi women from Jindires managed to flee Turkish occupied #Afrin

➡️ She had been imprisoned twice by #Turkey’s occupation forces

➡️ In an interview with ANF she tells about the violent expulsion of Kurds & gives her testimony of the torture she faced in captivity

In the prison in Turkish occupied #Afrin, she was tortured in various ways:

➡️ The guards told her that #Yazidis are infidels & that it is permitted to kill them

➡️ They chained her to the floor, cut her arms & legs with a knife & poured a liquid into her face which blinded her
➡️ The guards put out cigarettes on the body of her 7 year old son

➡️ The violence they carried out against women was especially humiliating, like sexualized torture, giving urine to drink & cutting off the ear of a women

[#Halabja thread 15/16]

Remember the people of Halabja today. Remember the #Kurds, #Assyrians, and #Yazidis who were murdered and displaced during the Anfal #genocide. Spare a thought for others whose oppression is being exploited to justify Western warmaking and continues unabated.

The Free Yazidi Foundation met with Newroz Ahmed (#YPJ/#SDF) & Mazloum Abdi (SDF)

➡️ They discussed about missing #Yazidis that might be in al-#Hol camp, ways to bring justice to the victims of the #yazidigenocide and how to persecute #ISIS in NE #Syria

We must never, ever forget. And we must also remember - and act to stop - today's genocides, against #Uyghurs, #Rohingyas, #Yazidis and others. We must prevent, protect and punish. #HolocaustMemorialDay https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1618916549842329607#m

If #Turkey takes planned 30-km (20-mile) deep “safe zone,”it will include most of the religious & ethnic minorities in NE #Syria per @RojavaIC@twitter.com map.

#Syriac-#Assyrian #Christians, #Yazidis & #Kurds were victims of horrific crimes in past invasions & will be again if not stopped.

@seanfobbe Great to have found you. I am also very interested in #yazidis and daughter Eline is a boardmember of the Yazidi legal network.

RT @nadinemaenza@twitter.com

Anyone else notice #Turkey seems to be targeting areas with #IDPs from Afrin, Ras al-Ayn & and other areas they invaded & occupied. The same #Kurds, #Yazidis, #Christians that fled & lost their homes in 2018 & 2019 are once again victims of violence. https://twitter.com/farhad_shami/status/1594083671476416513

#Yazidism is a #Kurdish #religion, influenced by #Zoroastrianism, #Gnosticism, and #Islam. It is #monoteistic, with complex angelology, saints, and a caste system. #Lalish is its holiest place.

#Yazidis are persecuted by kinda everyone and suffered a lot in recent wars.

An amazing project in northern Iraq! Where #Iraq and the #Kurdistan Regional Government have failed #Yazidis, so many others locally have stepped up to help 🙏🏽
