ISIS executes boy, 15, by throwing him off a roof – because he's gay

The 15-year-old had been arrested for being gay and thrown from the top of a building in Deir ez-Zor, Syria. 

An eyewitness told ARA News: "The horrific execution took place in front of a large crowd."

Sources say that the boy had been in a gay relationship with ISIS officer Abu Zaid al-Jazrawi, who has been sent to Iraq on the battlefront, rather than being executed.

This is reportedly to compensate for heavy losses sustained by ISIS, also known as Daesh, on the frontline from coalition and Russian bombing.

Sarai al-Din told ARA News: "The boy was accused of being engaged in a homosexual relation with the prominent ISIS officer Abu Zaid al-Jazrawi.

"Abu Zaid was forced to leave Syria and join the fighting fronts in northwestern Iraq. The decision has been taken by the ISIS leadership."

ISIS is known for its depraved execution methods, using baby-faced children as killers, while methods of murder include bounding prisoners to ancient monuments before blowing them up.

The extremist group, behind the Paris atrocities in November last year which killed 130 people, has executed dozens of allegedly gay men in its areas of control in Syria and Iraq in the recent months.

Civil rights activist Raed Ahmed said: "Daesh accuses people of being gay only on basis of some superficial information without any investigation. Although the Islamic law bans homosexuality, the brutal punishment by Daesh has never been witnessed throughout history.”
