Islamic State: Question Period and Fellow Yazidis

islamic state: Nadia Mura Basee Taha is recognized by the speaker after Question Period on Tuesday, according to Huffington Post Canada. She received an ovation from the House before MPs voted 313-0 to adopt a Conservative motion calling on the Liberal government to help her fellow Yazidis within the next 120 days. Nadia Murad, described by the Conservatives as a victim of sex trafficking at the hands of members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, has been lobbying MPs this week on behalf of her hard-hit fellow Yazidis. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered his personal assurance that help is in the offing. "I am pleased to see Nadia again today and reassure her that in the coming months we are committed to bring in ... vulnerable Yazidi refugees," he said during question period. Thousands of Yazidi men were killed, while thousands of women and girls were carried off, bought and sold in slave markets. The Yazidis, a Kurdish-speaking religious minority who used to dwell mainly in northern Iraq, have been targeted by ISIL militants over the last two years. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
