Amal Clooney is pushing for the United Nations to investigate and prosecute Daesh terrorist group commanders for genocide.
Clooney wants Daesh leaders tried over the killings. The British lawyer appeared on NBC’s “Today” show in an interview broadcast Monday alongside a Yazidi woman who was captured by Daesh in 2014 but escaped. The woman, 23-year-old Nadia Murad, says she was raped and she prayed for death while in captivity. Murad was named a UN goodwill ambassador last week.
The UN estimates that some 5,000 Yazidi men have been killed by Daesh terrorists and thousands more people have been taken into captivity.
Clooney says she discussed with her husband, George Clooney, her effort to legally fight the group. She says he understands “this is my work.”
Daesh militants have killed, raped and enslaved thousands of Yazidis since 2014, accusing them of being devil worshippers and forcing over 400,000 of the religious minority to flee their homes in northern Iraq.
