Children were forced to watch as another young gay man was murdered for the ‘crime’ of sodomy by Islamic extremists on Saturday (7 May).

The barbaric execution took place in front of hundreds of people as the man was thrown by masked members from the top of the building of the Syrian city of Manbij.

Nasser Taljbini, an activist in Syria, told ARA News ‘the man was thrown brutally by ISIS masked members’ and then said the ‘corpse of the victim was transferred to an unknown destination’.

Shortly afterwards, as with all other executions, propaganda photos were released of the victim’s murder.

It is claimed Islamic extremists murder gay people in this way to ‘cleanse them of their sins’.

This murder comes after ISIS, also known as Da’esh and ISIL, released a propaganda video that delivered a clear, terrifying warning to what happens to gay people in countries under their control. In the video, it shows one man being thrown off a roof in front of a baying mob in the ground. One is stoned to death by a mob. Another is beheaded by a bloody sword.

ISIS have described gay people as the ‘worst of creatures’.
