ARA reports that Islamic militants from ISIS murdered two Iraqi men on Sunday for being gay.

An eyewitness told ARA News: “On Sunday afternoon, Daesh (ISIS) called on the people of Mosul to gather in the square of Bab al-Toub [in the city of Mosul] in order to witness the execution of the two men. The victims were taken to the top of a building and were brutally thrown off the roof.”

As reported by Twitter account Terrormonitor.org, two other men were murdered in the city of Nineveh in the same fashion.

The ISIS-linked Sharia Court has issued a decision to execute all gay men by throwing them off of buildings. “Daesh accuses people of being gay only on basis of some superficial information without any investigation,” said civil rights activist Raed Ahmed to ARA News.
