Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) A significant damage was inflicted on the graves of Christian people in the liberated areas, including the cities of Bashiqa, Hamdaniyah, Karemlash, as well as Bartella and Tel Skaf in Nineveh Plain by the self-proclaimed Islamic State group (ISIS), after capturing these cities in 2014.

Iraqi channel “ISHTAR” published photos revealing the destruction caused to these graves. The destroyed places included the grave of the Archbishop of the Chaldean Church in Mosul, Martyr Bishop Boules Faraj Rahu. The ISIS members exhumed the Bishop’s grave, located in “Saint Addai the Apostle Church” in Karemlash city, in Hamdaniyah district.

The extremist group imposed its control on the city of Mosul, Nineveh, in 10 June 2014, as well as extending its terrorist activities to other areas in Iraq. The group also committed dangerous violations against civilians, especially minorities, including crimes against humanity and genocides.
