Yazidi 'ex-sex slave' trapped both in Iraq and in German exile Ashwaq Haji, a young Yazidi woman who fled to Germany but returned home to northern Iraq, tells how she cannot escape her Islamic State jihadist group captor who used her as a sex slave. Ashwaq, 19, says she ran into the man in a German supermarket in February and traumatised by the encounter, she returned to Iraq the next month.
