6 years on, memories of Daesh/ISIS prison cell haunt Ezidi woman

DUHOK, IRAQ - AUGUST 10: Six years ago, an Ezidi woman escaped from a Daesh/ISIS prison cell. She still takes pills to fall asleep. “Even though it has been six-and-half years since I escaped from captivity, I am constantly taking drugs because of my psychological problems. When I use drugs, I calm down a bit, otherwise, I cannot sleep,” Sara Revo told Anadolu Agency. Revo, 70, lost her son eight years ago in a Daesh/ISIS terrorist attack on the Sinjar district of Iraq. Now, she lives with her grandchildren in the Sharya Refugee Camp in Iraq's Duhok province. Recalling the day when Daesh kidnapped nine people from her family, she said: "We left the house in the morning on that fateful day. We fell into the trap set by Daesh. I and a few of our relatives were captured." She said his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren were also captured and the terrorists took them to Tal Afar. “They were separating the young girls from us. Nobody could speak out because they were killing them,” she said, adding that his son and other men separated from them after three days. "After one-and-half years, I escaped from captivity and realized that my son and three others were killed near Tal Afar. I recognized them by their clothes," she said. She said her grandchildren and daughter-in-law also escaped. "After my daughter-in-law came out of prison, she left us and went to Europe. These three children were left without a mother and father." the grieving woman said.(Footage by Mohammed Falah Ibrahim /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
