ISIS frees 2 Christian women held in Syria
2015-05-28
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Syrian activists say ISIS has released two Christian women who had been held along with dozens others since February in northeastern Syria.

ISIS kidnapped more than 220 Assyrian Christians in February, after overrunning several farming communities on the southern bank of the Khabur River in Hassakeh province.

Osama Edwards, director of the Assyrian Network for Human Rights, says the women, who are 70 and 75 years old, were released Tuesday and have now reached the northwestern city of Hassakeh.
Too old to bring any price at the slave market, not cost effective to keep feeding them nor to expend the bullet to send them on to the next life.
And now that the ransom has been cashed, the women are free to go.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an activist group, said Wednesday the two were likely released because of their poor health. Some of the captives were released previously.

Edwards says ISIS is still holding 210 Assyrian Christians and is demanding $100,000 for each hostage.
