Islamic State (Isis) have released photos of a man being publicly flogged for “watching pornographic videos”.

The man, who appears to be in his 20s and is dressed in a bright red jumper, is shown being repeatedly whipped in front of a large crowd.

The punishment took place in the eastern Syrian city of Deir Ezzor, recently renamed by Islamic State al-Kheir (meaning “goodness”).

The images show an all-male crowd, including a number of young boys, watching as an IS fighter with long hair and dressed in a grey robe strikes the man’s back with a long whip.

The final photographs show the usual staged propaganda images of the victim embracing the IS fighter, who had just inflicted the punishment on him.
