Raqqa: In yet another inhuman episode, the most sought after terror group ISIS forced families to witness their loved ones getting beheaded amid a humongous crowd on Sunday. Five men were accused of spying by Raqqa’s Sharia court and were sentenced to death.
A day before the executions, the five young men were found guilty of communicating crucial information to People's Protection Units (YPG) in northeastern Syria. The convicted were captured in the city of Tabqa, located in Raqqa’s countryside. Though the aforementioned region lacks ISIS’s clout and constant efforts are being made by Kurdish forces to expel the terror group from the countryside, Raqqa continues to be the latter’s capital.
Earlier, the dreaded group executed 25 Iraqi prisoners in Northern Iraq's Mosul by lowering them in a vat filled with nitric acid.
Witness accounts revealed that 25 prisoners were tied together with a rope and then thrown into a large basin containing nitric acid until all their organs and bones dissolved completely.
Recently, the Islamic State group had revealed a new form of punishment for their prisoners - stabbing in the heart to kill them. Recently, ISIS terrorists had stabbed an unidentified man right in his heart, before shooting him dead.
According to reports, more than 270,000 people have been killed and millions have fled their homes since Syria's conflict erupted in March 2011.
