An Iraqi Christian woman who was kidnapped by ISIS in 2014, raped and sold as a sex slave, was reunited with her father, it was reported in April.
Rita Habib called the emotional reunion a ‘dream’, as there were many times during her captivity when she never expected to see her father again.
Islamic extremists overran Habib’s hometown of Qaraqosh, southeast of Mosul, three years ago. Thousands of people were killed and hundreds of woman, including Habib, were taken captive. Habib was held in Mosul for several months before being sold as a sex slave to Syria. She recounted some of the horrors she saw and experienced while in ISIS captivity: ‘I was bought and sold four times. They did evil things to us. They beat us and raped us. The worst of all was girls aged nine who were raped. Girls would be sold for $4,000 to $15,000.’
