ISIS militants have executed 13 teenage boys for watching the Asian Cup football match between Iraq and Jordan last week.
The
young football fans had been caught watching the game on television in
the Iraqi city of Mosul, which is controlled by the Islamic State.
The
teenagers were rounded up and publicly executed by a firing squad using
machine guns, anti-ISIS activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered
Silently reports.
'The bodies remained lying in the open
and their parents were unable to withdraw them for fear of murder by
terrorist organisation,' .
Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently is a
small activist collective which secretly documents the shocking violence
and oppression ISIS has brought to their home city.
They said the 13 teenagers were rounded up by ISIS militants in the Al-Yarmouk district of Mosul, and executed in public.
The boys' 'crime' - breaking religious laws by watching football - was read out on a loudspeaker before their executions.

the horrifying execution of the teenagers comes just days after ISIS
released a video showing two men being thrown off the top of a tower
block in Mosul.
Charges found against the accused were announced by a masked Islamic State fighter, using a small handheld radio.

from a list, he declares the men are guilty of engaging in homosexual
activities and should be punished by death, in accordance with Islamic
State's radical interpretation of Sharia law.

Iraq-Jordan Asian Cup game, which took place in Brisbane, Australia
last Monday, saw midfielder Yaser Kasim, who plays for Swindon Town in
the third tier of English football, give Iraq a 1-0 win.
