Female Human Rights Lawyer Tortured and Killed by ISIS

BAGHDAD: Militants with ISIS publicly killed a rights lawyer in the Iraqi city of Mosul after finding her guilty of apostasy in a self-styled Islamic court, the United Nations said Thursday.

Samira Salih al-Nuaimi was seized from her home on Sept. 17 after allegedly posting messages on Facebook that were critical of the militants' destruction of religious sites in Mosul. Her Facebook page appears to have been removed since her death.

According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, Nuaimi was tried in a so-called "Shariah court" for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to public execution.

"By torturing and executing a female human rights' lawyer and activist, defending in particular the civil and human rights of her fellow citizens in Mosul, ISIL continues to attest to its infamous nature, combining hatred, nihilism and savagery, as well as its total disregard of human decency," Nickolay Mladenov, the U.N. envoy to Iraq, said in a statement, referring to the group by an alternate acronym.

The militant group captured Iraq's second largest city Mosul during its rapid advance across the country's north and west in June, as Iraqi security forces melted away. The extremists now rule a vast, self-declared caliphate straddling the Syria-Iraq border in which they have imposed a harsh version of Islamic law and beheaded and massacred their opponents.

In the once-diverse city of Mosul the group has forced religious minorities to convert to Islam, pay special taxes or die, causing tens of thousands to flee. The militants have enforced a strict dress code on women, going so far as to veil the faces of female mannequins in store fronts.

In August, the group destroyed a number of historic landmarks in the town, including several mosques and shrines, claiming they promote apostasy.

The Gulf Center for Human Rights said Wednesday that Nuaimi had worked on detainee rights and poverty. The Bahrain-based rights organization said her death "is solely motivated by her peaceful and legitimate human rights work, in particular defending the civil and human rights of her fellow citizens in Mosul."

The militants' rapid advance eventually prompted U.S. airstrikes last month to aid Kurdish forces and protect religious minorities in Iraq. This week a newly formed U.S.-led coalition expanded the aerial campaign into Syria, where ISIS is battling President Bashar Assad's forces as well as Western-backed rebels.

And when they say torture over there they don't mean water boarding.

No, not in the name of Islam or Peace. In the name of violence and crime.

That is THEIR justification, but it is no more the truth of what Islam stands for, than the Westboro Baptist Church's idea of what The Bible and Christianity stand for. They are just excuses to justify hatred.

No, they've hijacked Islam and are not acting in the name of Islam at all. They are killing the people of Islam.

They are violent, savage criminals who have no rigfht to hijack the religion of anyone.

That's a credible source...................... not.

My source says differently.

The vast majority of Muslim countries have signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture which states: Each State Party shall take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent acts of torture in any territory under its jurisdiction. No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.

Sorry, is that meant to make it better, water boarding is freaking horrific, it is not a slippery slide!

Why say sorry?

I think that water boarding is not equivalent to the methods used by Islamist terrorists. Not by a long shot.

The religionofpeace website is pretty factual.

If you read the WIKI it states very similar facts. Check it out on

Since the first books were written, people have put their own interpretation on the written word.

None of them are factual, we rely on them to interpret what they mean, don't we? as neither the Qoran or the Bible are written in English.

Her poor family, sick people.

I think torture is evil, I thought it was evil when I saw American soldiers making a man crawl naked on his hands and knees with a dog chain around his neck, one soldier was a female.

Torture is evil used by any one.

How does it compare to Gitmo torture?

I don't think that the people who are using the Qoran to justify their actions are reading it in English, but rather in the language in which it is written.

My post was in response to interpretations by questionable sites.

Five days of torture......It can only be said that death would have been welcomed.

May she rest in peace now.
