(IraqiNews.com) The ISIS organization executed 13 Iraqi youths in the city of Mosul as punishment for watching a football game between Iraq and Jordan in the Asian Cup that took place on Monday, January 12th.
According to an informed source in Mosul, members of the ISIS organization dragged the “convicted young people” to the big sports arena in Yarmouk neighborhood, and read out a statement confirming that the death penalty was a result of “watching something forbidden, coming from the west (the football game),” before shooting them dead.
The source, who requested not be identified, added, “Ages of the executed did not exceed 18 years. Their bodies were left in the arena, and their parents could not pull them out fearing arrest by the ISIS members, as punishment for leaving their children watching the game.”
