schema:text	Misleading: This video does not show ISIS auctioning Yazidi women in slave markets A video showing men publicly unveiling women wearing niqabs while chained has been circulating on social media with various claims since a few months ago. For example, one user on X claims that it shows ISIS selling Yazidi women in slave markets in Iraq and Syria while also associating this “terrorist” practice with Hamas. This post has 2,200 likes and 1,600 reposts. On YouTube, meanwhile, it was associated with Palestinians. Another X user suggested the video depicts a slave trade in Mosul, Iraq, while a TikTok user said it shows Azerbaijani women being sold as brides in Tabriz, Iran. One Italian news website claims the video was taken in Afghanistan. However, all these claims are misleading. The video was actually taken during a street performance portraying the cruelty of women being sold as sex slaves in March in Iraq. A reverse image search led to this TikTok video posted in late August this year by artist Aryan Rafiq under the title “The Unheard Screams Of The Ezidkhan Angels.” We also found the artist promoting the performance on Facebook and Instagram. Rafiq said in one of her comments on Facebook that the staged show was inspired by the event that took place in Sinjar, Iraq, in 2014, where Yazidi women were kidnapped and sold by ISIS. “The Unheard Screams Of The Ezidkhan Angels” was performed on March 7, 2023, in Erbil – Parki Shar near Erbil Citadel, according to the artist’s Facebook post. Annie Lab geolocated the performance venue and can confirm that the architectural features of the building in the video match the images found on Google Maps street view. Her social media posts over several years indicate Rafiq’s work has been dedicated to women in Iraq and Iran suffering from injustices (for example, here). A U.S. State Department report in 2023 said ISIS has a record of human trafficking in Syria, including kidnapping women and girls for slavery or forced marriage. The viral video was also fact-checked by BOOM, YOUR TURN and PesaCheck.

schema:reviewRating	Misleading. The video shows a street art performance in Iraq, which was meant to raise awareness of the cruelty of women being sold as sex slaves.
