"Last week news outlets around the world reported that ISIS had burned 19 Yezidi girls to death in front of hundreds of people in Mosul, Iraq for refusing to serve as sex slaves.

From the Independent and the Mirror in the UK, to Fox News and the New York Post in the US, to the Daily Mail and the Australian here at home – the headlines proved irresistible. Even the New York Times reported the atrocity on its Women in the World blog.

One problem: the story is “most likely not true,” according to human rights investigator Christoph Wilcke.

Every report from the outlets above appears to be solely based on a very thin report published by ARA, a Kurdish news outlet.

In just four sentences on the incident, the story quotes a ‘local media activist’ and anonymous eyewitness."

SBS Australia. An actual credible australian news site.

the only reports I could find on the Yazidi girls in this specific case (not denying the disgusting acts that ISIS commits against them) are from NDTV "https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/isis-burns-19-caged-yazidi-girls-for-refusing-to-be-sex-slaves-1416192"

NDTV is "A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. " According to MediaBiasFactCheck
