Islamic State (IS) militants are committing heinous crimes against Yazidi women and girls in Iraq, including organized rape and sexual assault, according to a Human Rights Watch.
The group said that the harrowing crimes being committed by the group may be crimes against humanity, reported the New York Post.
The rights group conducted research in the town of Dohuk early this year and interviewed 20 women and girls who escaped the clutches of IS.
The fanatics captured several thousand Yazidis in northern Iraq's Nineveh province in 2014.
According to witnesses, the young women and girls were separated from their families and other captives, and then moved from place to place in Iraq and Syria.
