The Daesh terrorists have abducted over 400 Turkmens in various parts of Iraq, the Turkmen Rescue Foundation said, according to Press TV.
Nearly 450 members of the Muslim community, among them 50 children and 70 women and girls, are taken hostage by ISIL, the rights agency said.
Akram al Bayati, chairman of the foundation, said the ISIL extremists kidnapped the Turkmens from Iraq’s northern provinces of Kirkuk, Nineveh and Salahuddin as well as the eastern province of Diyala.
He further called upon the government in Baghdad, the Iraqi parliament as well as international organizations to work for the release of the abductees.
In late August 2014, Iraqi army soldiers, backed by thousands of Shia volunteers and Kurdish fighters, liberated the northern town of Amerli, located about 180 kilometers north of the capital, Baghdad, from the Daesh terrorists.
