The scandal surrounding the claims of a Canadian businessman that he has
rescued over a hundred Yezidi and Christian women and children who were
kidnapped by the Islamic State has broadened. The families of the
victims he claims to have helped had already been repaid by the
Kurdistan government for the money spent freeing them.
Last week, 20 prominent Yezidis sent the Canadian businessman Steve
Maman a letter requesting proof that he and his organization, Liberation
of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq (CYCI), had rescued 128 people
from the caliphate ISIS runs by paying a mere $80,000 in total.
In the letter they spoke of their doubts that this amount could serve to
free so many people, as the sums paid per individual are much higher,
and mentioned they had not found anyone who had actually been helped by
Maman or CYCI.
