Teenage boys are being used as sex slaves to impregnate ISIS women in Syrian detention centers, including where American jihadist bride Hoda Muthana and Britain’s Shamima Begum live, to boost the caliphate’s population, officials say

Boys as young as 13 have claimed they were forced to have sex with ISIS women and impregnate them in Syrian detention centers as part of a plot to expand the caliphate’s population as there are no men in the camps .

The women forced at least 10 young teenagers into sexual acts, say two victims.

“We are forced to have sex with the ISIS women to get pregnant,” Ahmet, 13, and Hamid, 14, told a guard at Camp al-Hol in northern Syria, officials of the Syrian military told The Daily Beast. They confirmed that this is also happening at the Roj camp, where British jihadist brides Shamima Begum and American-American Hoda Muthana are being held.

The sprawling al-Hol camp is home to tens of thousands of women and children linked to the Islamic State group – and violence, exploitation and lawlessness are rampant there, international AIDS groups said. Some ISIS-affiliated women in al-Hol camp continue to feed their children the group’s extremist ideology.

Now Ahmet and Hamid have claimed they were victims of sexual assault, with one of the boys telling camp staff he was forced to have sex with eight ISIS women in a matter of days.

Officials have also confirmed that boys are being sexually assaulted at the Roj camp, where British jihadist brides Shamima Begum (left) and American Hoda Muthana (right) are being held.

Officials told The Daily Beast that the ISIS women in the camp wanted to get pregnant as part of a twisted plot to increase the caliphate’s population.

They said there were many pregnancies in the camp, which shouldn’t be possible because ISIS men are kept in separate camps.

Ahmet and Hamid, along with eight other boys, have since been rescued from al-Hol camp and taken to the newly opened Orkesh rehabilitation center in the northeastern Syrian city of Qamishli.

A camp guard said the boys were rescued by Syrian Army troops who found them hidden in underground tunnels by the ISIS women.

Boys were also raped by ISIS women at the Roj camp, where jihadist brides Begum and Muthana are being held.

A boy at the Roj camp collapsed and was hospitalized after being given a Viagra-like drug to help him perform, The Daily Beast reports.

The Kurdish authorities currently operate more than two dozen detention centers in northeastern Syria, where about 10,000 IS fighters are being held.

The camp was initially used to house the families of IS fighters when US-backed Kurdish forces retook territory in eastern Syria from the militants in late 2018. In March 2019, they captured the last IS villages, ending the “caliphate” the group declared over large parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.

Among those detained are around 2,000 foreigners whose home countries have refused repatriation, including around 800 Europeans.

In al-Hol, around 50,000 Syrians and Iraqis are crammed into tents in the fenced camp. Almost 20,000 of them are children; the rest are mostly wives, wives and widows of ISIS fighters.

A separate, heavily guarded part of the camp, called the annex, houses another 10,000 people: 2,000 women from 57 other countries – said to be the most die-hard ISIS supporters – along with around 8,000 of their children.

Last year, US-backed Syrian fighters ended a 24-day assault on al-Hol, detaining dozens of extremists and confiscating weapons during the operation. The deployment came after IS dormitories committed crimes in the camp.
