&ldquo;Virgin. Beautiful. 12 years old ... Her price has reached $12,500 (R8.43 lakh) and she will be sold soon,&rdquo; read an advertisement on the popular apps in Arabic.
It reportedly appeared &lsquo;on an encrypted conversation along with ads for kittens, weapons, and tactical gear&rsquo; and only came to light after an activist with the Yazidi community brought it to Associated Press&rsquo; attention.
The terrorist group has around 3,000 women and girls for sale on its sex slave market. ISIS shares databases with its checkpoints that contain information on sex slaves in order to mitigate any chance of escape.
