Yazda and Yazidis in Sweden welcome the Swedish government efforts for taking steps in past months to host an International Conference, by Mikael Damberg, Swedish Minister for Home Affairs, initiating the establishment of international ISIS tribunal, organize an International Conference, by the Minister of Foreign affairs on Genocide prevention, allocating money for the rebuilding of destroyed areas in Iraq and Swedish prosecutors investigating ISIS crimes.
