ISIS Militants Carry Out Regular Friday
'Executions, Amputations And Mock Crucifixions'
In Syria


Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists in parts of Syria are
carrying out regular amputations, lashings, public
executions and mock crucifixions, according to a
stark report published after a three-year UN
investigation into the war-torn state.
The report on the Syrian Arab Republic for the UN
Office for Human Rights details how "war crimes
and crimes against humanity" are being inflicted
on the Syrian people by rebel and ISIS extremists,
and by the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which
continues to deploy chemical weapons in civilian
areas.
The report states: "In areas of Syria under Isis
control, particularly in the north and northeast of
the country, Fridays are regularly marked by
executions, amputations and lashings in public
squares.
"Executions in public spaces have become a
common spectacle on Fridays in (IS power-base)
Raqqa and in (IS)-controlled areas of Aleppo
governorate... Bodies of those killed are placed on
display for several days, terrorising the local
population."
According to the UN report, boys as young as 15
are being beheaded, while women are lashed for
"crimes", such as being inappropriately dressed,
or are being stoned to death over accusations of
infidelity.
The report adds that civilians, including children,
are rounded up and forced to watch the acts of
brutality as a warning, while many boys, some as
young as 10, are being recruited to the ISIS cause
for use in combat or on suicide missions.
The investigation also warns that fighters from
rebel groups opposing Assad are defecting to ISIS
due to its "superior financial and operational
capabilities," whilst decrying how sever rebel
groups have targeted civilian infrastructure,
including schools, in regime-controlled areas of
the country.
Likewise, the regime is accused of killing
hundreds of civilians through the "indiscriminate
firing of missiles and barrel bombs", while
government forces are said to have carried out
similar atrocities in the form of state-backed
rape, torture and executions.
Last April, the regime is said to have used the
chemical agent chlorine in barrel bombs on eight
separate occasions - all were fired into civilian
areas. "Witnesses saw helicopters drop barrel
bombs and smelled a scent akin to domestic
chlorine immediately following impact,” the report
says, with victims suffering "vomiting, eye and
skin irritation, choking and other respiratory
problems".
Similar war crimes are being carried out by ISIS
across the border in Iraq, with last week’s
execution of journalist James Foley sparking
outrage in Western countries, with Britain and the
US leading a manhunt to identify the "British"
killer.
In an interview with CNN on Monday, another
"British" Jihadist fighting for ISIS said it would be
an "honour" to carry out a beheading similar to
that witnessed in the gruesome Foley video.
"I hope God gives me the chance to do such a
thing as the brother did with James Foley,
whether it be on somebody like James Foley, a
solider of Bashar al-Assad or a soldier of America,
my hands are ready to do this blessed act," he
said.
When question about the Muslim Council of
Britain condemning such acts, the man dismissed
the organisation as "apostates".
