A teenager has been killed by terrorist group, the Islamic State also known as ISIS, after he was accused of taking pictures of the group’s headquarters in Syria.
The 17-year-old was allegedly killed on a cross in a central square of Raqqa, Syria, in public.
It is alleged that he had received 500 Turkish lira (£138) for every picture he took of the Islamic State’s military base.
He was crucified for three days before he eventually died.
A picture of him was shared on social media by activists calling themselves ‘Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently’.
Charlie Winter from the Qulliam foundation told the Independent: ‘Crucifixion has been used many times before – it’s an age-old punishment dealt out to people who have committed treason.’
Last week a dozen members of ISIS were killed and several others were landed in hospital when their food was poisoned by cooks working for Syrian rebels.
