Petition Motion for Discussion supporting protection of Kurdish - Yezidi community against a Genocide
More details
Reports of violence, repression and murder by Isis and other extremist groups have become increasingly prevalent in Iraq. The most vulnerable group has been the Yezidis who are a small Kurdish ethno-religious community.
They are currently running in fear of their lives from "Islamic State" (IS) militants, who have killed and captured thousands and still hunting them since the beginning of August.
There is a need of special protection for this community to avoid its extermination.
More details about the Yezidis below:
