A group of Syrian women were witnessed on Friday ripping off their Strict Islamic robes and Headscarves after escaping religious persecution by the ISIS.

A group of syrian women had a reason to celebrate yesterday after escaping religious persecution under ISIS and they demonstrated by ripping of their strict Islamic robed and Headscarves.

They were taken at Rojava, a Syrian stronghold of the Kurd forces battling the terror group that has cut a swathe of terror across Syria and Iraq.

The women tore off the dour abayas - a type of concealing robe favoured by Islamic fundamentalists - in a raw expression of joy after reaching the relative safety and freedom of the region..

ISIS forces women to wear a veil but sometimes it exempts Women over the age of 45. Women under ISIS usually feel this is molestation and that's why this group of women had something to celebrate.

The images were taken by Jack Shahine, a photojournalist in Kobane, the town that came under a desperate assault by ISIS but beat the murderous attackers back.

Another woman is seen below throwing her headscarve away as she celebrates her freedom from harsh religious persecution by ISIS.

Where ISIS control, Buses are  stopped for passengers to be checked. If a woman is found without required dress or mahram, all passengers are forced to disembark and the bus is refused permission to proceed.

ISIS orders women to wear only black. They also have to hide their eyes, which calls for a double-layered veil but atleast the group of women are free from all the ISIS religious persecution for now.
More than 3,000 Syrians fleeing clashes between Islamic State and Kurdish fighters have crossed into Turkey since Wednesday, a Turkish government official said. Kurdish forces are trying to drive the militants out of Tel Abyad, in Syria's Hassakah province, close to the Turkish border town of Akcakale.


The official said 3,337 Arab Syrians had crossed into Turkey in less than two days to avoid the clashes and bombing raids carried out against IS by a U.S.-led coalition.

Turkey has already accepted 1.8 million people fleeing the bloodshed in neighbouring Syria, officially maintaining an open-border policy for refugees throughout the four-year-old civil war.

In recent months it has partly closed border gates on security grounds, however, prompting aid workers to raise concerns it is blocking people from escaping the fighting.
