Sinjar is a town in the Sinjar District of the Nineveh Governorate in northern Iraq. Its population in 2013 was estimated at nearly 90K and is predominantly Yazidi.
In December evidence collected in Iraq strengthened preliminary findings that Islamic State extremists committed crimes against humanity and war crimes against the Christian community after it seized about a third of the country in 2014, a U.N. investigative team said in a report.
The report to the U.N. Security Council said crimes included forcibly transferring and persecuting Christians, seizing their property, engaging in sexual violence, enslavement and other ‘inhumane acts,’ such as forced conversions and destruction of cultural and religious sites.

In addition, the team said it has identified leaders and prominent members of the Islamic State extremist group who participated in the attack and takeover of three predominantly Christian towns in the Nineveh plains north of Iraq´s second largest city, Mosul, in July and August 2014 – Hamdaniyah, Karamlays and Bartella.
It also started collecting evidence on crimes committed against the Christian community in Mosul.
Islamic State fighters seized Iraqi cities and declared a self-styled caliphate in a large swath of territory in Syria and Iraq in 2014.
The group was formally declared defeated in Iraq in 2017 following a three-year bloody battle that left tens of thousands dead and cities in ruins, but its sleeper cells continue to stage attacks in different parts of Iraq.
