Isis crucifies photographer for taking pictures of Syrian headquarters

A teenager has been killed by Isis after he was accused of taking pictures of the group"s head quarters in Syria.

The 17-year-old was allegedly killed on a cross in a central square of Raqqa, Syria, in public.

It is alleged that he had received 500 Turkish lira ($222) for every picture he took of the Islamic State"s military base.

He was crucified for three days before he eventually died.

A picture of him was shared on social media by activists calling themselves ‘Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently".

Charlie Winter from the Qulliam foundation told the Independent: ‘Crucifixion has been used many times before – it"s an age-old punishment dealt out to people who have committed treason."

Last week a dozen members of Isis were killed and several others were injured when their food was poisoned by cooks working for Syrian rebels.
