Five Iraqi men were publicly executed in Mosul by the ISIS after their wives did not comply with orders to wear a new "Afghan-style" hijab.

The executions were reportedly carried out on January 12 in the Al-Muthanna area of Mosul, according to the Alhurra website.

The Islamic State (IS) militants have also set up roadblocks to ensure that women comply with the new dress code imposed by the militants in Mosul and other areas under its control. The roadblocks are manned by the Hisbah, the Islamic State's Sharia police.

Meanwhile, in another gruesome video released by the ISIS, a child soldier is seen shooting and killing two prisoners whom the militants accuse of spying for Russia.

The video opens with what the ISIS said were confessions from the two men saying that they were spies for the Russian intelligence service.

The video then shows the boy, who appears to be around 12 years of age, shooting and killing the two prisoners.
