SYRIA: ISIS STONE A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY TO DEATH FOR THE 'CRIME' OF BEING GAY
May 23, 2016: Islamic extremists stoned a 15-year-old boy in Syria to death for the ‘crime’ of being gay.
Crowds gathered in Mayadin, a city in the eastern Deir ez-Zor province, to watch the execution.
The boy, Jamal Nassir al-Oujan, was arrested by the ISIS-led Islamic police on Sunday (22 May).
After a short trial, the Sharia Court found him ‘guilty’ of sodomy and ruled he should be killed by stoning.
‘Al-Oujan was brutally stoned to death by ISIS militants in Jaradiq square in the Mayadin city on Monday (May 23) afternoon,’ an eyewitness told ARA News, speaking on condition of anonymity.
‘Also, some civilians were forced to participate in stoning the victim,’ the source added. ‘The brutal scene has shocked all residents of Mayadin.’ (Sources: gaystarnews.com, 25/05/2016)
