A Yazidi teenager who escaped life as an ISIS sex slave has revealed that one of the men responsible for her horrific ordeal was the British fighter known as ‘Jihadi Sid’.
Nihad Barakat was just 15 when Islamic State militants seized the Yazidi town of Sinjar in northwest Iraq two years ago.
The now 17-year-old has revealed that British father-of-four Siddhartha Dhar was one of the key player in the Yazidi sex trade in ISIS’s self-declared caliphate.
She revealed that the former bouncy castle salesman from Walthamstow had taken part in the horrifying human trafficking of Yazidi teenage girls, and enslaved some himself.
‘When I was captured near Kirkuk, they took me to another leader from Mosul. His name was Abu Dhar,’ she said according to the Daily Express.
‘He also took Yazidi girls for himself. Every day he would tell me that I had to marry another man.’
Hindu-born Dhar left Walthamstow in north east London for Syria in September 2014, and is believed to be the masked jihadi who has been seen in a number of ISIS execution videos.
The British fanatic, who has been accused of being the ‘new Jihadi John’, was previously known as ‘Sid’ to friends and enjoyed drinking, action movies and dreamed of being an NHS dentist.
Dhar’s family say he ‘changed’ as a teenager after the death of his father and converted to Islam, shunning TV and music, sleeping on the floor and even telling his mother he couldn’t love her anymore because she is not a Muslim.
