The image shows Egyptian female protesters in Abu El Matamir in December 2013, staging a symbolic protest in support of ousted president Mohamed Morsi—not Yazidi girls or an ISIS parade. The review also says the specific report of 19 Yazidi women burned alive in cages was never independently verified.[S1]
