UNITED NATIONS: A young Iraqi woman who survived rape and abuse as a sex slave of Islamic State fighters on Friday became a UN goodwill ambassador for the dignity of survivors of human trafficking. “My real fear is that once ISIS is defeated, ISIS militants, ISIS terrorists will just shave off their beards and walk the streets of the cities as if nothing has happened,” she said. She is represented by international lawyer Amal Clooney, who said the Islamic State group must be held accountable for grave crimes. “We know that what we have before us is genocide, and we know that it is still ongoing,” said Clooney. Murad and Clooney are due to attend that event along with Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
