Two women in Syria have become the first to be beheaded by ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) after being accused of witchcraft, sorcery, and working with elves by the Islamic extremist group, the Independent (British) website reports today (June 30, 2015).
The executions -- for a supposed breach of sharia law -- were carried out on June 28 and 29, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group based in Britain.
In separate executions, both women were put to death alongside their husbands in Deir ez-Zour province after being accused of using un-Islamic medicine by the extremist group.
The group says that this is the first time the self-styled caliphate has killed women in this way. Previous executions of women have involved stoning or firing squads, mostly for adultery.
