Warning report contains distressing images.
Pictures of the lifeless, bloodied bodies of two men, accused by ISIS fighters of being gay have emerged on social media. The two men were executed by stoning, with their hands bound behind their backs and blindfolded, on top of a tarpaulin in Aleppo, the largest city in Syria.
Violence against gay men or those accused of being gay, by the Islamic state has increased in 2015, with well attended public executions usually concluding with the victims being thrown off the tallest buildings in the area. If the victims survive the surrounding crowds often stone them to death.
Last month 10 males included a 15-year-old boy were murdered, in the most violent day against gay men in territories controlled by the so-called Islamic State, which adopts Sharia Law. Homosexuality is illegal in states and countries that adopt Sharia law.

Provincial Sharia chief Syahrizal Abbas told the AFP news agency,
“The law is to safeguard human dignity. It is to protect Aceh’s Muslims from committing immoral acts,”

Civil rights activist Raed Ahmed told ARA News that ISIS was accusing men of being gay on “superficial information” and without investigation.

ISIS Execute “Gay” Man By Stoning As He Lays Defenceless On Ground
Islamic State fighters have reportedly thrown another man, accused of being gay, off a building and stoned him to death after he survived the fall.
The campaigning group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, a Syrian-based campaign against ISIS and the Assad regime, have reported that a man accused of being gay was thrown from a building in Iraq and stoned on the ground after surviving the fall.
A crowd on the ground watched as a number of masked men, some of whom were pointing assault rifles at the victim, threw the man from a two storey building, a fall that would not have resulted in his death, but one that would have resulted in painful injuries.
One of the photos published shows the man mid-fall from the building, as up to eleven men are seen on top of the building. One of the men is flying a flag apparently bearing the symbol of ISIS. Meanwhile, a photo shows a large crowd of spectators, including children, watching the entire execution.
Homosexuality is forbidden under Islamic State. Men who are accused of homosexuality are often thrown from building tops, before being stoned to death as they lay defenceless on the ground from injuries sustained by the fall.
The pictures surfaced less than a month after two men were hugged by ISIS fighters before being put to death in Homs, in Syria.
ISIS Fighters Hug Two “Gay” Men Before Stonning Them To Death
Shocking pictures have emerged showing ISIS fighters hugging men accused of being gay before savagely stoning the two to death.
Two more men have reportedly been killed in Syria, for being gay or accused of being gay, in an escalating assault in the area on those ISIS believe are homosexual.
In pictures released by @Raqqa_Si, a campaign group against ISIS and the Assad regime in Raqqa, two men are seen being led to a holding ground in Homs, a city in Western Syria. Surrounded by onlookers they are treated to an informal reading of their crimes before being bludgeoned with rocks and stones until they die from their injuries.
Stoning causes a traumatic death that experts suggest can take between 3 and 10 minutes for the victim to die.
One expert reporting:
“If you are hit in the head with large stones, then it likely wouldn’t take long at all.
But, if you are hit only in the body with smaller stones, then it may take quite a while before you actually die from internal injury/bleeding.”
In pictures released, the men from ISIS apparently hug the charged in a sign of “forgiveness”. Before the stoning commences, an ISIS fighter can be seen, standing by a car, reading out the charges against the accused, using a microphone in a make-shift hearing scenario.
It has not been made clear if the two men were a couple.
There have been a number of chilling executions of men accused of being gay in Syria. Up until now, the men have normally been thrown off tall buildings in the region. Many of the accused survive the fall only to be stoned by the bloodthirsty crowd of spectators.
Hala Jader, award winning journalist for the Sunday Times, tweeted the pictures, saying:
“#Isis stones homosexual couple 2 death.
First they hug them apparently in forgiveness, then kill them.”
