Christian girl wows ‘The Voice Kids’ after fleeing ISIS

Mirna Hana, 11, escaped with her family eight months ago - and now her spellbinding performance has taken the world by storm

  A Christian girl who is an internet sensation after her spellbinding performance on ‘The Voice Kids’ has revealed how she fled Iraq when ISIS vowed to kidnap and kill her. Dubbed ‘the Babylon Princess’, baby-faced Mirna Hana, 11, wowed the judges in Beirut when she sang Iraqi love song 'Yesterday in a Dream' and Frozen's 'Let it Go'. A YouTube video of Mirna's breathtaking performance has been seen more than 11.8million times.   But Mirna has told the heartbreaking story of how she ended up on the show – and how she was forced to leave Iraq for Lebanon eight months ago when her life was in danger. Mirna said: 'After we got to Lebanon, my dad told me that Daesh [ISIS] wanted to kidnap and kill me. From then I felt very scared at night, and I couldn't sleep alone, or be by myself.'   In a video, the brave singer said: 'The Voice is a chance to sing for the world and to show that Iraq isn't just about war and things like that - there are beautiful sounds too.' 'Everybody knows the difficulties of Iraq, from ISIS and how they slaughter the people and how they take their houses,' her proud father said. 'They threatened us with the kidnapping our the little girl, so we came here. We left everything behind us - even my job with the government,' he added.   Now she will battle it out with other talented children to win the competition. A Facebook page celebrating Chaldean Christians posted messages of support for the young star. Introduced as 'Mirna Hana, the Chaldean Princess of Babylon,' photos and videos of the rising star at family picnics in the park, concerts, at church and holding her own on stage performing duets with vocalists many years her senior are posted.
