ISIS Reportedly Executes Another Gay Man by Throwing Him Off Roof
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Members of ISIS have been known to execute gay men, or accuse men of being gay, by throwing them off a roof of a tall building. The British tabloid The Sun reports photos of a similar incident have recently surfaced.
In the graphic images, a man is seen being led off the top of a building before falling to the ground, where a crowd of onlookers await to throw rocks at him. Once the body is on the ground, the crowd begins pelting him with rocks.
The Sun notes it is unclear when the images were taken and writes the publication "could not verify their authenticity." The Sun adds the photos were posted online by the group Terror Monitor and picked up by Iraqi News.
The slaying reportedly took place in Mosul, a city in northern Iraq.
One of the most recent executions came in December when ISIS militants accused a man of being gay before throwing him off the roof of a building in Aleppo, Syria.
