ISIS has executed 75 prisoners in the city of Mosul, Iraq
The terrorist group Islamic State has executed dozens of prisoners in a major detention centre in the Iraqi northwestern city of Mosul on Sunday.
“At least 75 prisoners were executed by ISIS in the Mosul Central Prison,” local media activist Abdullah al-Malla said, citing an ISIS official.
Most of the victims were young Iraqi men who have been recently arrested by ISIS militants in Mosul and other parts of Nineveh province.
“The ISIS leadership has charged them with treason,” the informed source reported.
The executed civilians included at least 25 media activists.
Iraqi security officer Zanoun Sabaawi said that the ISIS radical group has threatened all journalists and media activists of execution if they report on local developments in areas held by the group.
“Terrorists of Daesh (ISIS) want all their violations and atrocities against the Iraqi people to go unnoticed. That’s why they try to prevent reporters from covering local news in places like Mosul,” Sabaawi said.
Mosul is the main ISIS bastion in Iraq. The group has taken over the city and other Iraqi territories in June 2014. Since then thousands of people have been arrested, tortured and executed at the hands of ISIS militants.
