On July 23, 2015, the Islamic State (ISIS) media office of Homs province in Syria released several images showing the execution of two men convicted of engaging in homosexual acts. As in its numerous previous executions of homosexuals, ISIS members threw the two men head first off a rooftop, and then stoned them.
This execution follows a string of recent executions of homosexuals in Iraq. Earlier this month, ISIS executed four homosexuals in Al-Falluja province,[1] three in Mosul in June,[2] and one in the Iraqi town of Al-Ba'aj in May.[3]
Below are several of the photos:
