General Information about Mosul City: Mosul city is the center of Nineveh Governorate and, it is the
second largest Iraqi city in terms of population and geographical area after the capital Baghdad, the
population of Nineveh Governorate is 3,600,000 person and the population of Mosul City is about
1,800,000 person. Distance between Baghdad and Mosul is 402 kilometers and, it is located north of Iraq.
The area of the city is 32,308 km2
. The City of Mosul is divided right in the middle by the Tigris River that is
the reason why they call the northern part as left coast and the southern part as right coast. The city is
famous for trade for hundreds of years with nearby countries Syria, Turkey, this is why it called (Mosul =
Connector) as connects some countries with Iraq and Levant. the population speaks Al-Meslawia dialect
(Al-Mosulia), which is similar to North Syrian dialects, Al-Meslawia dialect got the greater role in
maintaining the identity of the city, the people of Mosul city are diverse Historically, most of them Arab
Sunnis, Shabak nationality, Christian religion Yezidi Sect, Kurdish and, Turkmen nationalities, all have
lived hundreds of years in peace with each other.
Reasons of Issuing this Report: This report is issued which cares about internal conditions of Mosul city
because there are no means of communication with the city , and media workers fled from the city as ISIS
dominated on all means of communications and they threatened all media workers, for these reasons we
decided that it is our duty as an NGO to contribute to the delivery of the facts to public opinion , defend the
rights of civilians in Mosul and show how dangerous is the ISIS on the sons of Mosul city, note that this
report does not cover all the events that took place and we relied on contact mechanism with citizens of

1-Human Rights and Freedoms:
Human Rights: When we contacted the Department of forensics, it turned out that there is preliminary
statistic of death toll in the city; about 201 citizens were killed between 10/6/2015 up to 31/7/2015. ISIS
fabricated ways to kill them after accusing them of many charges (such as Ex-candidates in the previous
elections / media workers / members of non-governmental organizations / members of the Iraqi army and
police / people accused of spying for the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan regional government /
oppositionist to ISIS) and large number have been killed after issuing death sentences against them
contrary to the Iraqi criminal laws.
Recruiting Children: ISIS organization continues to claim from minors under age of 18 to join them and
seduce them by money, and weapons, ISIS justify their request as a mean to defend the Islamic religion
and the Sunni sect, volunteers are 200 children as young as 15 years old, they are receiving awareness
lessons on methods and objectives of the organization in order to attract largest number possible of
volunteers, especially among children, then giving them physical and military training during the period of
90 days at a high degree of firmness, children are trained on light and medium weapons, volunteers
should fill a form and give full information including skills, there are some questions to measure intellectual
tendencies of volunteers and a volunteer should be from Sunni Arabs exclusively.
- On 07/07/2015 ISIS trained 95 Yazidi and Shiite captured child, they had been abducted during the
invasion of Sinjar and Tal Afar districts after the events of 8/3/2014 and they were previously held in the
camps of Raqqa Governorate near the Syrian border, the children were transferred to Mosul, and they are
now present inside the building of Dar Al-Zohor for orphans and child care, which is located in the in Al-
Moharibin Q. on the left side of Mosul city.
- Lately the phenomenon of child labor spread because of the economic need to aid their parents, the
children are roaming near traffic intersections selling fruits, vegetables, fuel and food in order to get the
daily sustenance as the economic situation of Mosul City is running down after the interruption of trade
routes to the city.
Note: We stress once again that the delay in liberation operation of Mosul city works to increase the
proportion of unemployed persons because of the deteriorating economic situation which forces a large
number of children and youngsters to join ISIS in order to support their families as labor market is poor and
ISIS pays 500 US$ monthly for young men and 300 US$ for minors under 18 years.

Women Rights: Women of Mosul continue to suffer from marginalization and persecution by members of
ISIS and the imposition of laws and sanctions against them. There are inhumane actions restricts personal
freedom, making women in constant fear to go to the streets, markets and shopping because of the
harassment that occurs to them by female police officers, including the so-called (Divan of Al-Hesba for
Women) which stresses on women to maintain Afghani dressing design. Our sources reported some of the
cases that have occurred in the city, including the case of beating a pregnant woman was about to give
birth as she couldn’t wear the Afghani veil imposed on them because of her situation, when she reached
hospital gates women police stopped her and lashed her 17 lashes without taking into account her critical
situation, they arrested her husband and imposed 70 lashes on him then they took him to an unknown
destination, consequently the woman gave birth near hospital doors and then died of severe bleeding and
delay to reach the halls of birth because she needed a caesarean section. Another case was observed in
Al-Serjkhane market on the right coast, three women from Women Police, Russians nationality and fourth
was Yemeni nationality beat 11 women in one of the shops selling women's clothing, despite wearing
Afghani veil imposed on them, among the women 17 years old girl died because of shortness of breath
(asthma) and severe and brutal beating, our sources reported that the height of policewomen were
ranging (180 cm to 190 cm) and they did not leave the place of the accident and did not care about the
death of the girl.
-On 18/06/2015 ISIS issued instructions to prevent women from going out during the month of Ramadan
except for emergency situations such as going to the hospital with accompaniment man who should be a
first degree relative after taking approval from ISIS to get out.
- 7 cases recorded in the past two months of girls committing suicide, their age is between 19-30 years old
because of repression and psychological situation and inability to withstand the pressure exerted by ISIS
toward females.
- Also our sources mentioned that the majority of main women prisons (Altesfirat prison / near Mosul
University) were bombed by coalition air forces, which made ISIS to seize residential building belongs to
people of Mosul city who fled out of the city and became secret offices, but couldn’t obtain information
about the location of those secret prisons and how many prisoners are there.
The situation of youth: ISIS imposed set of laws and regulations on youngsters of Mosul city that prevent
them from exercising certain rights, including no haircuts or shaving beard and shave mustache, because
of these instruction 50% of young people are not going out of their homes except in necessary cases, in
order to avoid being stopped by members of ISIS. There are 11 cases of beatings of young people with a
stick who were dressing shirts and colored trousers or tight jeans and every person who contravenes these
regulations are whipped 20 lashes and pay a fine of 50 US$ and will not be released unless he changes
his clothes and his beard should be a hand fist long, most of the youngsters city adhere to the instructions
fearing of punishment.

Rights of minorities: After a year of ISIS occupation of Mosul City minorities are still suffering from great
persecution, violation of their rights and, ISIS committed a lot of crimes against minorities who were living
inside Mosul City, ISIS has confiscated Christians homes and steal their transferable and non- transferable
assets and, destroyed official documents found inside the house or shops which belongs to the Christians.
- Our sources confirmed that Yezidi Women sale process continues in Mosul in the Al-Ghabat area – Al-
Sadir tourist complex, which is located near the Tigris River in the left coast of Mosul city, one member of
the organization sold 5 Yezidi girls in the complex their age between 10-15 years old and were raped in
that area.
- On 13/07/2015 the organization converted old Chaldean Church in Al-Maidan area in the center of Mosul
city to a mosque named Abu Abdul Rahman Al-bilaoi, our source added that the Church is one of the
ancient Chaldean churches and overlooking the Tigris River, ISIS removed the Cross and painted the
tower with black color.
- On 15/7 the organization gave orders to the Central Library staff at the University of Mosul to collect
Masters and PhDs belonging to Christians, Yazidi and Shabak students which are about (1092) study and
research in order to burn it because they see it as stemming from a thought opposing to the Islamic law
(Shari’a) as they said, the building of College of Administration and Economics was chosen to burn those
studies.
- We stress again that there are (95) child from Yezidi religion and Shiia faith prisoned with ISIS , the
children are trained in ISIS camps and they deal with them in a harsh and tough way in order to insert the
ideas of organization and convince them to change their religion and their beliefs and follow ISIS
instructions.
Freedom of expression: ISIS continues to impose laws that restricts freedom of expression in Mosul and
that made people cannot speak of their public or daily affairs and exposes them to lashes or murder, ISIS
increased largely the surveillance of internet and raided three houses in left coast because they got
internet system linked directly to satellites, and punish those who have this device with murder because
they did not take approval from ISIS to own this device. ISIS continues to arrest young men in the streets
of Mosul abruptly and inspect their mobiles and computers if they were carrying it and review all files for
fear of having information pertaining to their positions or photos of ISIS, and there is a great fear from the
people of Mosul city to speak through social networking sites on the internal situation of the city because
they think that ISIS is spying on all conversations that go out or enter the city of Mosul.
Note: the people of Mosul city require programs that protect their computers from spyware by ISIS
members in order to facilitate the transfer of information about the conditions of the city and the events
taking place inside city.

Distance between Baghdad and Mosul is 402 kilometers and, it is located north of Iraq. The area of the city is 32,308 km2 . The City of Mosul is divided right in the middle by the Tigris River that is the reason why they call the northern part as left coast and the southern part as right coast. The city is famous for trade for hundreds of years with nearby countries Syria, Turkey, this is why it called (Mosul = Connector) as connects some countries with Iraq and Levant. the population speaks Al-Meslawia dialect (Al-Mosulia), which is similar to North Syrian dialects, Al-Meslawia dialect got the greater role in maintaining the identity of the city, the people of Mosul city are diverse Historically, most of them Arab Sunnis, Shabak nationality, Christian religion Yezidi Sect, Kurdish and, Turkmen nationalities, all have lived hundreds of years in peace with each other. Reasons of Issuing this Report: This report is issued which cares about internal conditions of Mosul city because there are no means of communication with the city , and media workers fled from the city as ISIS dominated on all means of communications and they threatened all media workers, for these reasons we decided that it is our duty as an NGO to contribute to the delivery of the facts to public opinion , defend the rights of civilians in Mosul and show how dangerous is the ISIS on the sons of Mosul city, note that this report does not cover all the events that took place and we relied on contact mechanism with citizens of different professional specialties and take information from them.

Mosul City Situation Report No #3 From 1/6/2015 till 31/7/2015 2 Iraq – Nineveh Governorate Mosul City 1-Human Rights and Freedoms: Human Rights: When we contacted the Department of forensics, it turned out that there is preliminary statistic of death toll in the city; about 201 citizens were killed between 10/6/2015 up to 31/7/2015. ISIS fabricated ways to kill them after accusing them of many charges (such as Ex-candidates in the previous elections / media workers / members of non-governmental organizations / members of the Iraqi army and police / people accused of spying for the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan regional government / oppositionist to ISIS) and large number have been killed after issuing death sentences against them contrary to the Iraqi criminal laws. Recruiting Children: ISIS organization continues to claim from minors under age of 18 to join them and seduce them by money, and weapons, ISIS justify their request as a mean to defend the Islamic religion and the Sunni sect, volunteers are 200 children as young as 15 years old, they are receiving awareness lessons on methods and objectives of the organization in order to attract largest number possible of volunteers, especially among children, then giving them physical and military training during the period of 90 days at a high degree of firmness, children are trained on light and medium weapons, volunteers should fill a form and give full information including skills, there are some questions to measure intellectual tendencies of volunteers and a volunteer should be from Sunni Arabs exclusively. - On 07/07/2015 ISIS trained 95 Yazidi and Shiite captured child, they had been abducted during the invasion of Sinjar and Tal Afar districts after the events of 8/3/2014 and they were previously held in the camps of Raqqa Governorate near the Syrian border, the children were transferred to Mosul, and they are now present inside the building of Dar Al-Zohor for orphans and child care, which is located in the in Al- Moharibin Q. on the left side of Mosul city. - Lately the phenomenon of child labor spread because of the economic need to aid their parents, the children are roaming near traffic intersections selling fruits, vegetables, fuel and food in order to get the daily sustenance as the economic situation of Mosul City is running down after the interruption of trade routes to the city. Note: We stress once again that the delay in liberation operation of Mosul city works to increase the proportion of unemployed persons because of the deteriorating economic situation which forces a large number of children and youngsters to join ISIS in order to support their families as labor market is poor and ISIS pays 500 US$ monthly for young men and 300 US$ for minors under 18 years.
