The terrorist group of ISIS on Sunday executed a man in the northeastern Syrian city of Raqqa after accusing him of “fighting the Caliphate” and leaking information to anti-ISIS forces on ground, local sources reported.
After beheading him, the terror group has crucified the victim’s corpse in a public square downtown.
The rights activist Ahmad Raqqawi said that ISIS militants publicly beheaded Hussein Atallah in front of dozens of locals on Sunday afternoon near the Clock Tower in Raqqa downtown.
“Atallah was accused of fighting ISIS months ago and leaking information to Syrian forces recently before being arrested by the Hisba police,” the source reported.
Raqqawi stressed that the victim was innocent according to his kinsmen.
A masked member from the ISIS-linked Sharia Court in Raqqa read a statement, accusing the victim of having fought ISIS alongside the Awakening group of Hasakah several months ago.
“We hereby behead this apostate according to the Caliphate’s rules. We hang his dirty corpse to be an example for those who dare to fight alongside the Caliphate’s enemies,” the statement read.
Also, the ISIS-led Sharia Court in Raqqa threatened to execute anyone who violates the group’s rules in the areas under its control.
In the meantime, local activists confirmed that hundreds of people have been slaughtered by ISIS for baseless reasons over the past two years, stressing that the charge against the victim [Atalah] was “baseless”, according to his family members.
“The terror group killed my cousin too for trifling reasons last month,” an eyewitness said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
“We will avenge the bloodshed of our kinsmen someday,” he said.
