Zeinab Badawi speaks to psychologist Jan Kizilhan who has helped
bring over a thousand Yazidi females from camps in Iraq to
Germany to start a new life. The so-called Islamic State may be
coming under pressure in both Syria and Iraq but still accounts
emerge of atrocities carried out by them. The minority Yazidi
community has been amongst one of the most persecuted groups of
people; living mostly in northern Iraq, they have been killed,
forced to convert to Islam and the women and girls have been held
in sexual slavery. How does he decide who should stay and who
should go?
