ISIS documents seized by US Special Operations Forces have laid bare the brutal reality of the militant organisation's treatment of its female prisoners, outlining its rules on rape and enslavement.
The documents, seen by Reuters, were obtained in a Syria raid in May, during which time ISIS' top financial official Abu Sayyaf was killed.
A huge range of data sources were seized which have helped US authorities to illustrate how ISIS organises itself, from the management of the terrorists' revenue streams to its handling of stolen oil, antiquities, subjugated people and rules on raping female prisoners.
One booklet seen by Reuters is entitled 'From our creator's rulings on capturing prisoners and enslavement,' and sets clear rules for how to enslave women who have been imprisoned after their "infidels" have been defeated.
The booklet attempts to base the rules for enslavement in Islamic law and uses quotes from the Prophet Mohamed to claim that ISIS fighters should show both kindness and cruelty to prisoners.
It states that enslaved women should not be separated from their children, but it also justifies ISIS fighters' rape of female slaves.
