A young Yazidi woman forced into sex slavery by Islamic State begged the West to bomb the brothel where she is being held after militants reportedly raped her 30 times in just a few hours.

The anonymous woman is said to have been kept as an ISIS prisoner somewhere in western Iraq having been captured during the Sinjar massacre in early August.

Daily Mail reports that a group raising awareness of ISIS' persecution of women in the vast swathes of the Middle East under its control said the woman had contacted Kurdish peshmerga fighters by telephone to plead for the brothel to be bombed to put the women held as sex slaves out of their misery.

She allegedly told the fighters she had been raped so frequently that she could no longer use the toilet, adding that the ordeal has been so harrowing that she plans to commit suicide even if freed.

Details of the woman's brutal experience at the hands of the Islamic State emerged during an interview with Kurdish activists staging demonstrations in London to raise awareness of the plight of women in the Middle East.

During an interview with BBC World Service, a man identified as Karam described how a friend embedded with the peshmerga took a phone call from the Yazidi woman.

Describing the woman as crying on the phone, Karam quoted her as saying: 'If you know where we are please bomb us... There is no life after this. I'm going to kill myself anyway - others have killed themselves this morning.'

'I've been raped 30 times and it's not even lunchtime. I can't go to the toilet. Please bomb us,' he claimed the woman added.

The group of Kurdish activists to which Karam belongs have been staging protests in central London to raise awareness of the plight of women living under the brutal oppression of the Islamic State.

Among their recent demonstrations was the establishment of a mock-slave market where niqab-wearing women were seen chained together while masked men used loudspeakers to auction them off to the highest bidder.

A video of the group's fake slave auction - run to shock those living in the West into confronting the grim reality of ISIS rule - has already been viewed more than 265,000 times on YouTube

The group says they used information provided by sources on the ground to help them portray the scenes authentically.
