On 30 August, the international community commemorates the anniversary of the victims of enforced disappearances, the day that represents a call on all governments and organizations around the world to work to uncover the fate of those who were forcefully disappeared or abducted during war or peace.

With the advent of this event, the watchdog draws attention to all human rights actors, as well as democratic governments that attach importance to humanitarian files, to a human tragedy whose victims of enforced disappearances, mostly Shia children and women, continue to be captured by ISIS terrorist organizations despite their terrible defeat.

The  takfiri organization committed many heinous crimes against Shia Muslims in Iraq and Syria alike, when occupying some cities in those two countries, resulting in thousands of children and women being held captive.

According to many testimonies obtained by Shia Rights Watch, ISIS terrorists kidnapped hundreds of Turkoman Shia women and children when they took control of Mosul, Tal Afar and the village of Bashir, the fate of most of them is still unknown, like their counterparts of Yezidi women.

The organization calls on all international human rights organizations to take the anniversary of the victims of forced disappearance by urging efforts to uncover the missing facts about Shia women and children, especially as their suffering persists, and most of them under the yoke of terrorism in Syria, demanding on the same time the US-led international coalition to ftake account of this humanitarian issue, to reveal the fate of the innocent.
