SYRIA: MILITANTS EXECUTE WOMAN FOR ‘ADULTERY’
January 14, 2015: the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Al-Qaeda-linked militants had publicly executed a woman accused of adultery.
The Syrian Observatory said that in total 14 people had been executed for alleged adultery or homosexuality in the war-torn country since July, half of them women.
It released a video showing fighters from Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, tying up a woman and shooting her in a square in the town of Maaret Masirin in the province of Idlib.
A crowd of civilians and fighters are seen watching, as a jihadist accuses the woman of "corrupting the earth, and adultery.” (Sources: AFP, 14/01/2015)
