Photographs of a man believed to have been gay being thrown off a building and stoned to death have been posted by the Islamic State group.
The photos were posted on Tuesday, and were accompanied by a statement explaining that the man had been suspected of having “practiced sodomy”.
It read: “The Islamic court in Wilayet al-Furat decided that a man who has practised sodomy must be thrown off the highest point in the city, and then stoned to death.”
The images show the man being thrown off a building at an unspecified location suspected to be in Syria or Iraq.
Another shows him lying on the ground.
