When the second woman was asked if she was married to a Daesh militant, she only nodded affirmatively. Later she said that her husband was killed. The father of the woman was also a Daesh member, he was also killed a couple of days ago.

The third woman was holding a small child on her hands during the interview. Her husband was killed during an airstrike.

'Life Turned Into Torture': Women Who Escaped From Mosul Recall Daesh Atrocities
Commenting on the women's statements, the head of the Iraqi federal police Shakir Jaudat told Sputnik that "women who agreed to answer questions in front of the camera are innocent. If they were involved in committing crimes, they would refuse to do so."

According to Jaudat, the women's testimony will be used for further investigations.

Daesh terrorists are notorious for their atrocities against civilians and, especially, their cruel treatment of women. Women are often used by Daesh militants as slaves and sometimes serve as snipers or work in financial departments within the terrorist group.
