On the evening of May 14, 2013, dozens of people had gathered in
front of a small shop in Baghdad to buy alcohol. Rabie Square — a vital
commercial center in central Baghdad — was filled with the sounds of
cars and shoppers as unidentified assailants emerged from four-wheel
drive vehicles and opened heavy fire on alcohol vendors and workers, the
majority of whom were Yazidi youth.
On May 14, 2013, 12 employees of an alcohol shop in Baghdad, 10 of
whom were Yazidis, were killed by armed assailants amid increasing
religious extremism in the country.
In a phone conversation with Al-Monitor, an officer on the federal
police force said: “A group of armed assailants emerged from four
vehicles in the Ghadeer neighborhood in eastern Baghdad. They entered a
shop that sells alcoholic beverages and opened fire on those in the shop
using guns fitted with silencers. This resulted in 12 people being
killed, 10 of whom were Yazidi.”
Adherents of the Yazidi religion have settled in Iraq. They are the
remnants of an ancient Eastern religion that still maintains some of the
traditions and beliefs of the people of Mesopotamia.
There are more than 500,000 Yazidis in Iraq, the majority of whom
live in the Nineveh and Dohuk provinces (in the Kurdistan Region of
Iraq). About 20,000 Iraqi Yazidis have emigrated to Europe, mostly
settling in Germany and Switzerland. The Lalish temple, located in the
Sheikhan region of the Nineveh province, is the sacred religious center
for followers of this religion.
The majority of Yazidi youth emigrate to Baghdad to work in the
alcoholic beverage trade. The Iraqi tourism law that was ratified prior
to 2003 only allows non-Muslims to work in this trade. Since the fall of
the regime of former President Saddam Hussein, Iraqi legislators have
not changed or modified this legal clause.
