The extremists have beheaded four members of a football team after declaring the sport anti-Islamic.

The extremists banned organised sports like football when they took over Raqqa in Syria over two years ago. Fans in the city used to flock to watch Al-Shabab play matches in the city’s large stadium.


Photographs of the the aftermath of the gruesome execution, together with snaps of three of stars lining up for their side in the days before ISIS invaded, were released in a series of tweets by protest group, Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently.
