A large number of people from the Êzidî community had to migrate to Europe after the ISIS invasion and genocide in Shengal town in South Kurdistan on August 3, 2014.

Hesê family from Shengal, who also migrated to Europe, stated that it was the Kurdish Freedom Movement that protected them during the massacre.

Şirin and Remziye Hesê and Dutch Êzidî Karin van Assen spoke to ANF on the genocide perpetrated by ISIS in Shengal two years ago.

Hesê family who moved to Amsterdam after the Shengal genocide told that it was the PKK and YPG that protected the Êzidî people, saying that they will never forget their help and efforts to save them.

Şirin and Remziye Hesê pointed out that KDP kind of betrayed them while bigger massacres were hindered by the Kurdish Freedom Movement.

Karin van Assen also condemned the Shengal genocide perpetrated by ISIS.
