After the Syrian ancient city of Palmyra was liberated from the Islamic State (IS) two days ago, some document were found in the area through which IS was inviting its jihadists to apply for receiving Sabaya (women captured in war).



According to a written letter, IS headquarters have urged their Platoons to register the jihadists willing to buy women captives. They have been noted that unregistered militants cannot attend the women slavery market.



“The applicants should pay the price [of the women captives] in a sealed envelope,” reads the letter. “The highest bidder will be obliged to finish the deal [of the woman].



Vian Dakhil, the sole Kurdish Yazidi Member of the Iraqi Parliament, posted a copy of the document on the social media, saying that the document was to invite IS jihadist to “a slavery market of Yazidi Women.”



After IS jihadists seized Mosul in the north of Iraq in June 2014, they attacked the predominantly Yazidi town of Sinjar, killing hundreds of civilians and forcing thousands to flee. Additionally, they took over 5,000 Yazidi women, mostly being traded in the market as sex slaves.





The full letter reads:



“Brothers, who wish to buy Sabaya, should register their names with the leader of their platoon.”



"As for the fighters on duty, they should contact their leader and we will arrange it in 10 days.”



"Anyone who does not register his name will be denied access to the slave market.”



“The Price for a slave should be paid in a closed envelope and the highest bidder will be obliged to finish the deal."
