Corpses of Yazidis murdered by ISIS remain in Baghdad freezers

Yazidi lawmaker Murad Ismael is calling on Iraq's central government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to pay reparations to his people for failing to protect them from the 2014 massacres carried out by the Islamic State, which the US considers a genocide. More than 10 years on, hundreds of remains of Yazidi victims killed by ISIS are being held at the Forensic Medicine Department in Baghdad, awaiting DNA identification.
