鈥淚鈥檒l give you 50 dollars,鈥� a man calls out.
鈥淪he鈥檚 a virgin, I鈥檒l need more than 50,鈥� the man running the auction responds through a megaphone.
Such was the scene that played out on the streets of London. The demonstration was meant to alert Londoners to the gripping brutality of the sex slave market of the Islamic State.
鈥淭his is just an example of what is going on in Syria and Iraq in the places where the Islamic State has gained power,鈥� Karam Kruda, the man with the megaphone, says in the video.
Kruda told IJReview the demonstrators wanted to 鈥渟hock people into awareness鈥� by bringing onto the streets of London what happens in the Islamic State daily.
鈥淲e wanted them to see how ISIS is bringing back practices from centuries ago. In reality, the barbaric nature of their actions and why it so desperately needs to be kept from spreading,鈥� he said. 鈥淲hen women are sold like poultry in a bazaar it is inhumane and tear-jerking.鈥�
He said girls who managed to call their families on mobile phones while in the brothels have begged to be bombed.
鈥淲hen you hear about instances like that, you just want the world to feel it too,鈥� Kruda said.
The United Nations reported that since August more than 25,000 girls have been kidnapped into sex slavery, according to the video.
