Lamiya Haji Bashar (Arabic: لمياء حجي بشار) is a Yazidi human rights activist. She was awarded the Sakharov Prize jointly with Nadia Murad in 2016.[1]

Biography[edit]

Haji Bashar is from Kojo, near Sinjar, Iraq. In August 2014, along with Nadia Murad, she was abducted by Islamic State from the village and forced into sexual slavery.[2][3] She was also forced to make suicide vests.[2]

Aided by her family who paid local smugglers, she escaped in April 2016, being injured by a land mine in the process. She received medical treatment in Germany.[3] In October 2016, she and Murad were jointly awarded the Sakharov Prize; the ceremony took place in December 2016.[3]
