The New York-based rights watchdog's statement was issued as thousands of Christians were fleeing Mosul to escape an ultimatum by the Islamic State (IS) group that seized the city last month. The organisation, which enforces an extreme version of Islamic law, and allied Sunni groups conquered Mosul and large swathes of the country last month and subsequently declared a "caliphate" straddling Iraq and Syria. "ISIS should immediately halt its vicious campaign against mi**rities in and around Mosul," HRW's Middle East director Sarah Leah Whitson said, using the acronym IS was k**wn by before it rebranded last month.
