The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) has reportedly beheaded a 15-year-old boy for listening to pop music in the jihadist stronghold of Mosul, northern Iraq.
“Ayham Hussein was captured by the jihadis while listening to Pop music at the grocery store of his father in the Nabi Younis marketplace in western Mosul. He was referred to the Sharia Court, which issued a decision to execute him,” a spokesman for the Nineveh media center told ARA News.
“ISIS jihadis publicly beheaded the boy,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The victim’s body was handed over to his family on Tuesday evening.
The horrific incident has reportedly raised public outrage among Mosul’s residents.
“There was no formal decision by the Sharia Court that ban listening to western music,” the source said, adding this was the first case of its kind to be documented in Mosul.
Iraqi News’ online newspaper reported that IS had issued a fatwa that ordered the execution of anyone caught celebrating Valentine’s Day.
“The so-called al-Sharia Court in Mosul issued a fatwa to execute anyone who celebrates Valentine’s Day in the city because of the prohibition of these occasions,” Saeed Mamousini, media official in Kurdistan Democratic Party in Mosul told Iraqi News.
