Islamic State Throws Man to His Death 'For Being Gay'

The graphic images show a man being pushed to his death

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Pictures emerge of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant fighters apparently throwing a man from a building because he was gay

Photographs have emerged that appear to show members of the Islamic State group in Iraq throwing a man from a building in punishment for being gay.

The graphic images, seemingly taken in the northern Isil controlled city of Mosul, show a man being pushed to his death before a large crowd that had gathered in the main square below.

One photograph, taken from the top of the building, shows the man from behind, blindfolded and with his hands tied across his back, being pushed to the ledge by his executioner. » | Ruth Sherlock, Beirut | Friday, January 16, 2015
