A funeral for more than 100 victims from Iraq’s Yazidi minority has been held in the capital Baghdad.
The victims are the first to be identified using DNA analysis after their remains were exhumed from the mass graves.
Thousands of Yazidis were killed by ISIL (ISIS) fighters in 2014.
The United Nations investigators called it a genocide.
