Deir Ezzor Province, SYRIA — The Syrian Obsefrvatory for Human Rights reported that ISIS militants informed relatives of a young man from the city of al- Mayadin that the organization executed the young man by shooting him for “apostasy.” (Apostasy is the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief.)

The sources confirmed that the young man was arrested by IS in order to be undergone for “closed Sharia course” because he opposed the Friday’s sermon of an Imam of a mosque in the city of al- Mayadin, the report said.

Deir Ezzor Province is the seventh largest city in Syria, the largest in the eastern part of the country.


A United Nations report highlighting the human rights violations of the Islamic State’s jihadist campaign in Iraq found that while over 24,000 Iraqi civilians have been injured or killed by ISIS in the first eight months of 2014, and the extremists have taken up the practices of recruiting 12- and 13-year-old soldiers and forcing women and girls into sex slavery.

The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in conjunction with the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq released a report last Thursday that investigated ISIS’ violations of human rights by conducting interviews with over 500 internally displaced witnesses. The witnesses told the UN investigators of the atrocious ways in which the terrorists were killing, kidnapping and persecuting citizens of all religious beliefs, including those holding ISIS’ own faith of Sunni Islam.
Using information obtained from a variety of governmental, non-governmental and local media sources, the report states that in the first eight months of 2014, ISIS terrorist and militants from associated groups have killed approximately 8,493 Iraqi civilians, while injuring 15,782.
