The 1935 Yazidi revolt took place in Iraq in October 1935. [1] The Iraqi government, under Yasin al-Hashimi , crushed a revolt by the Yazidi people of Jabal Shingal against the imposition of conscription. [1] [2] The Iraqi army, led by Bakr Sidqi , reportedly killed over 200 Yazidi and imposed martial law throughout the region. [1] Parallel revolts opposing conscription also broke out that year in the northern (Kurdish populated) and mid-Euphrates (majorly Shia populated) regions of Iraq.
The Yazidis of Jabal Shingal constituted the majority of Iraqi Yazidi population - the third largest non-Muslim minority within the kingdom. [2] In 1939, the region of Jabal Shingal was once again put under military control, together with the Shekhan District . [2]
