The Islamic State jihadist group, or ISIS, has executed 91 people between July 29 and this Saturday in various Syrian provinces, the Syrian Human Rights Observatory said. Of the 91 victims, there were 32 civilians including two women, 39 IS combatants, 11 rebels and at least nine soldiers loyal to the Syrian regime.
All were slain for supposedly “offending God and religion, collaborating with foreign organizations and secret services, practicing witchcraft, cooperating with the (international) coalition of crusaders, or working for the (Syrian) regime.” Some were also accused of indecency with males, sodomy, adultery, or belonging to the Syrian government forces or its militias.
These 91 victims bring to 3,156 the number of people executed by IS jihadists in the parts of Syria under their control since the terrorist organization first announced the establishment of a caliphate on June 29, 2014.
A total of 1,841 of those executed were civilians, including 75 under the age of 18, and 95 women.
Depending on the kind of crime for which they were seized, they had their throats cut, were shot to death, beheaded, thrown off of buildings or burned alive.
Also among these victims were more than 930 members of the Sunni Arab clan al-Sheitaat in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, and 223 Kurdish citizens slain with firearms and knives in the northern city of Kobani in the Aleppo Governorate, SOHR said.
The jihadists have controlled large areas of Iraq and Syria since June 2014, when they declared the conquered territories in the two countries to be a caliphate.
