Baghdad-INA First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen Al-Mandlawi affirmed on Sunday his keenness to include a provision in the budget to compensate the Yazidis, noting that what the Yazidis were subjected to is a clear testament to ISIS's terrorism and the vileness of its ideas. In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Al-Mandlawi said, "What the Yazidi community was subjected to on August 3, 2014, represents one of the most painful and soreness moments in the history of modern Iraq. It is a bloody phase that will never be forgotten in the conscience of the nation, and a bleeding wound in the conscience of all humanity." He noted that "the survivors of ISIS represent a clear testament to the terrorism of this organization and the vileness of its ideas." He stressed that "the House of Representatives is keen to serve and protect diversity, having enacted the Yazidi Female Survivors Law to provide justice to the victims." He expressed his "full support for government efforts aimed at resolving the situation in Sinjar, rebuilding, and ensuring the return of displaced persons." Al-Mandlawi stated that he "will work to include a provision in the budget law to allocate funds to compensate victims for the harm they suffered at the hands of ISIS, and will approach the local government in Nineveh to include the largest possible number of Yazidis in this compensation."
