Defeated fighters in Syria told to "atone" or die as Islamic State unleashes one of its bloodiest waves of repression

Displaced people from the minority Yazidi sect, fleeing violence in Iraq, are pictured at a refugee camp which is run by the local municipality in the southeastern Turkish town of Silopi, near the Turkish-Iraqi border crossing of Habur, August 23, 2014. At least 100 people are arriving from Iraq each day, the camp workers say, many of them, like Sewra, smuggled across the border by locals, sometimes paying up to $1,000 per family. Turkey, already sheltering more than a million refugees from the war in neighboring Syria, has reiterated that it will maintain an 'open door policy' to those fleeing violence, although customs officials at the main Habur border crossing with Iraq are only allowing in those with passports.
