IRAQ: FOUR WOMEN ARE RAPED BY ISIS FIGHTERS AND THEN STONED TO DEATH IN MOSUL AS PUNISHMENT FOR 'COMMITTING ADULTERY'
February 11, 2016: Radical group of the Islamic State (ISIS) executed four women in the city of Mosul in Iraq’s northwestern Nineveh province, after accusing them of “committing adultery.
The victims were arrested even though ISIS militants are said to have caught them being abused during a raid in the city of Mosul.
They were brought before a sharia court which ordered them to be publicly executed without giving any details about their alleged abusers.
The four women were stoned to death in front of a large crowd, according to local sources.
Speaking to ARA News in Mosul, media activist Abdullah al-Malla said: “The four women were most likely exposed to sexual abuse at the hands of ISIS militants before being driven out of their homes and transferred to the Sharia Court.”
'Apparently, the victims had been raped by ISIS jihadis and then stoned to death on charges of committing adultery.'
Raafat Zarari, spokesman of the Nineveh media centre, told the agency that the four victims were arrested on Wednesday in a raid by ISIS jihadis.
He added: 'The jihadis claimed to have captured the women while committing adultery.' (Sources: ARA News, 12/02/2016; Maionline, 15/02/2016)
