Islamic State child slave list is genuine: UN

GIRLS and boys aged between one and nine are worth the most. A horrific price list from IS has been confirmed as real.

GIRLS and boys aged between one and nine are worth the most.

In the barbaric, twisted logic of the Islamic State these youngsters are worth $165, while teenage girls can be bought for $124 — and it’s even less for women over 20.

The price list for captured women and children is being circulated by IS and is being used by the evil group’s own fighters as well as rich from the Middle East.

Despite the various “prices” the actual amount paid usually much more because outsiders are allowed to bid for the individuals, with the money exchanged sometimes being thousands of dollars.

That’s after IS hierarchy takes their pick, with the remainder are then offered at the listed prices to the rest of IS.

The list first emerged eight months ago but there was uncertainty over whether it was genuine or not. Until now that is.

A senior United Nations official, Zainab Bangura, was given a copy of a pamphlet which included the list, when she was in Iraq in April.

Now she is able to say the list is accurate.

“The girls get peddled like barrels of petrol. One girl can be sold and bought by five or six different men. Sometimes these fighters sell the girls back to their families for thousands of dollars of ransom,” she told Bloomberg.

Ms Bangura, who is the UN special envoy on sexual violence in conflict and also served in the government of Sierra Leone warned against treating IS as an ordinary rebel group because they were a combination of a “conventional military and a well-run organised state.”

The pamphlet isn’t the first time IS has spoken about its use of female slaves. Last year IS distributed a pamphlet on female slaves — and how they were treated — and tried to justify that and other crimes, including rape, using the Koran, the Independent reported.

In addition, they released a sickening list of how to punish female sex slaves, including by rape.

They also released a video last year that purportedly showed footage of an Isis slave auction, and featured fighters speaking about what they were prepared to pay for various women.
