Islamic State Beheads 'Sorcerer' In Libya
On May 4, 2015, the Islamic State's (ISIS's) Barqa province, in eastern Libya, released several photos showing the execution of a man convicted of sorcery in Benghazi.
ISIS provided a picture of the man and the "hieroglyphs" that were supposedly used by him.
The actual beheading was not shown; however, a picture depicting a masked ISIS man on his way to strike the sorcerer's neck was included.
A few ago, ISIS executed three men convicted of homosexuality in the town of Derna, east of Benghazi.[1]
