Islamic State militants who have enslaved, murdered and raped Yazidi women and children must be brought to justice, no matter the price, says international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. Clooney, a barrister in London, is on a mission to prosecute the Islamist group through the International Criminal Court for their crimes against the Yazidi.She announced in June she would represent Yazidi women in Iraq who have been victims of sex slavery, rape and genocide by IS."It's been harrowing to hear the testimony of girls as young as 11 and 12 talk about what's happened to them. And still we haven't been able to do anything about it," Clooney said in an interview with NBC on Monday."They are brainwashing people and I think one of the ways to take action is to expose their brutality and corruption and partly, you can do that through trials." Clooney said she would pursue the case "no matter the price"."We did discuss it and we are aware of some of the risks involved, of course," she said, referring to a conversation with her husband, Hollywood actor George Clooney. "This is no joke. This is IS."Militants have killed, raped and enslaved thousands of Yazidis since 2014, accusing them of being devil worshippers and forcing more than 400,000 of the religious minority to flee their homes in northern Iraq.According to the UN, the Sunni militants enslaved about 7,000 women and girls in 2014, mainly Yazidis whose faith blends elements of Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Islam, and is still holding 3,500, some as sex slaves.The US, European Parliament and the Council of Europe have all described the Islamist militant group's actions as genocide.Yazidi campaigners, including Nobel Peace Prize nominee Nadia Murad Basee Taha, have been pushing for international justice."I put my own life at risk, but I don't have a life without giving hope to other victims," said Taha, who was with Clooney on NBC."Even today, I am not free. I cannot feel free while thousands of other girls like me are still captive," she said. "My real fear is that, once IS is defeated, the militants will shave off their beards and walk the streets of their cities as if nothing has happened."We cannot let this happen." ..
