We have reports that ISIL has been continuing to forcibly
transfer civilians over the past few days. On Tuesday, we understand trucks
full of abducted civilians – reportedly some 1,600 people – were taken from
Hamam al-Alil to Tal Afar city. Some of these families were told that they may
be transported to Syria. We are very concerned that ISIL intends to use these
families to shield themselves from air strikes. On Wednesday, another 150
families were transferred from Hamam al-Alil to Mosul city. Also on Wednesday,
ISIL reportedly used loudspeakers to order the residents of Lazaghah and Arij
villages, about five kilometres from Hamam al-Alil city centre, to leave their
villages or be severely punished. We also continue to receive reports of mass
killings, including one incident on Monday, when ISIL reportedly killed 50 of
its own militants in the Ghazlani military base in Mosul city for alleged
desertion. There are also credible reports that 180 people were killed on
Wednesday in Kokjali town in eastern Mosul, and possibly up to another 200
people were killed in Mosul city. We are trying to verify the details of these
alleged killings.
We have reports that ISIL militants are holding captive
nearly 400 women from Kurdish, Yezidi or Shi’a Muslim communities in Tal Afar.
Since 17 October, ISIL has reportedly also been forcibly recruiting children
from the age of nine or 10 as fighters in Mosul.
We have also received reports of civilian deaths caused
by airstrikes, including one on Wednesday evening that reportedly killed four
women and wounded 17 other civilians in the al-Qudus neighbourhood in eastern
Mosul. We remind the Government and its allies that all military operations, as
well as security screening of people, must be carried out in full compliance
with international humanitarian law, and that they must strictly abide by the
principles of humanity, distinction, proportionality, necessity and precautions
to avoid and minimize loss of civilian life.

Imamo izveštaje da ISIL je
stalnim prisilnog premještanja civila u proteklih nekoliko dana. U utorak, mi
razumemo kamione pune civila kidnapovanih - navodno oko 1.600 ljudi - su uzete
iz Hamam al-Alil u gradu Tal Afar. Neke od ovih porodica je rečeno da oni mogu
biti transportovani u Siriju. Veoma smo zabrinuti da ISIL namerava da koriste
ove porodice da se zaštiti od vazdušnih napada. U sredu, još 150 porodica su
prebačeni iz Hamam al-Alil u Mosul gradu. Takođe u sredu, ISIL navodno koristi
zvučnike da naredi stanovnike Lazaghah i ARIJ sela, oko pet kilometara od
centra grada Hamam Al-Alil, da napuste svoja sela ili biti strogo kažnjeni. Mi
takođe nastaviti da prima izveštaje o masovnim ubistvima, uključujući i jednog
incidenta u ponedeljak, kada ISIL navodno ubijeno 50 sopstvenih ekstremista u
Ghazlani vojnoj bazi u Mosul gradu zbog navodnog dezerterstva. Tu su
vjerodostojni izvještaji da su 180 ljudi ubijeno je u sredu u gradu Kokjali u
istočnoj Mosulu, i eventualno do još 200 ljudi ubijeno u Mosul gradu. Mi se
trudimo da proveri podatke o tim navodnim ubistvima. Imamo izveštaje da su ISIL
militanti drže zarobljene skoro 400 žena od Kurda, Iezidi ili Šizam
muslimanskih zajednica u Tal Afar. Od 17. oktobra, ISIL je navodno takođe
nasilno regrutovanje dece uzrasta od devet i 10, kao borcima u Mosulu. Takođe
smo dobili izveštaje civilnih smrtnih slučajeva izazvanih vazdušnim napadima,
uključujući jedan u sredu uveče da je navodno ubio četiri žene, a ranjeno 17
civila druge u al-Kudus naselju u istočnom Mosulu. Podsećamo Vladu i njene
saveznike da sve vojne operacije, kao i bezbednost skrining ljudi, moraju se
sprovesti u potpunosti u skladu sa međunarodnim humanitarnim pravom, i da strogo
moraju pridržavati principa humanosti, razlika, proporcionalnosti, potrebe i
mere predostrožnosti kako bi se izbeglo i minimizira gubitak života civila.
