Al-Khansa, the all-female Islamic State (IS) brigade, have arrested and punished 15 women in Mosul. Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) official from Mosul Saed Mamuzini told BasNews that al-Khansa arrested the 15 women for failing to wear the niqab.
They were arrested on Sunday in the Salamiya neighborhood of Mosul.
Mamuzini said al-Khansa militants disfigured the women by pouring acid on their faces.
“They have implemented this punishment so that other women in the city will never consider removing or not wearing the niqab,” he said (hier)
