The Sack of Amadiye occurred in 1834 in Amadiye, Now Amedi, when the Tyari Assyrians, seeking revenge against the rule of Mir Muhammed Pasha of Rawanduz, launched a raid on Amadiye and left behind 15 bleeding heads as a warning to the Mir.[1][2]
The Sack
The Raid on Amadiye was carried out by Tyari Assyrians, who attacked a village near Amadiye, leaving fifteen severed heads. They marched approximately seventy miles and reached the village by nightfall, which they burnt down before withdrawing.[3]
Testimony
The Tiyary Nestorians swooped down like falcons and stormed a village near his camp at Amadiah, leaving fifteen bleeding heads as a record of their visit. Their rapidity of movement was almost incredible. They marched seventy miles, surrounded the village at nightfall, burnt it, and were on their way home.[4]
