Lamiya Aji Bashar, an 18-year-old Yazidi girl who escaped her Islamic State group enslavers, talks to The Associated Press in northern Iraq in this May 5, 2016 photo. She described how she was abducted along with her sisters and brothers when IS overran her village in 2014 and was passed around from militant to militant, trying to escape many times. Finally she succeeded in March, but only after a mine exploded, killing two girls fleeing with her and leaving Bashar’s face scarred and blinding her in one eye. #APPhoto by @balintszlanko To learn more about this story and see the full photo essay, visit blog.apimages.com - link at profile #Yazidi #LamiyaAjiBashar #IslamicState #slavery #mine #news #BalintSzlanko #AP #photojournalism #AssociatedPress
