The Islamic State Group has reportedly executed 19 women in Iraq’s Mosul for refusing to have sex with fighters, a Kurdish Democractic Party (KDP) official claimed, according to the Daily Mail.

The official further added that women were held hostage in Islamic State’s stronghold of Mosul, which was seized in June last year. “The captured women were put to death as they refused to ‘participate in the practice of sexual jihad’,” the official told Iraqi News.

He also alleged that the Islamic State’s treatment of women and dealings with money were proving to be increasingly divisive within the organization’s own ranks. The executions, which took place between 1st and 2nd August, however could not be independently verified.
