Where they then proceeded to massacre the population, slaughtering more than 7,000 Kurds.[5] The massacre also led to 400 Kurdish women and girls to be taken away, with many suffering direct abuse, while others were sold, resold, or traded away for further abuse.[6][7]
Aftermath
The aftermath of the massacre left Sauj Bulagh completely devastated, villages laid in ruins and cattle killed.[8]
