ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - Jamila Babir, a young Yazidi woman abducted by the Islamic State (ISIS) and taken to Syria has been freed after nearly 12 years in captivity, an official said Monday.

“Today, a 19-year-old girl… has been freed in Syria. She is now in Sinjar and is being reunited with her family,” Hussein Qaidi, head of the Kurdistan Region’s Kidnapped Yazidi Rescue Office, told The New Region.

Babir was reportedly abducted alongside other family members by ISIS militants in a village near the Yazidi heartland of Sinjar on August 3, 2014 – the same day the extremist group took control of the district.

At the time, she would have been seven or eight years-old.

More than 5,000 Yazidis were killed in the ISIS campaign, and over 6,000 others, mostly women and children, were abducted and sold into sex slavery.

According to the latest data from the rescue office, the whereabouts of over 2,800 Yazidis who went missing during the campaign remain unknown.

Additionally, 95 mass graves have so far been identified in the district, of which only 68 have been excavated, resulting in the extraction of 850 bodies. However, only 96 of the extracted bodies have so far been identified.

Last year, Dindar Zebari, Coordinator for International Advocacy at the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said the Kurdish government has documented 42,000 files containing 408,540 pages of digital records detailing ISIS crimes.

At least 18 countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, and Switzerland, have officially recognized ISIS' crimes against the Yazidi community as a genocide.
