Update to this story.

The extremist group of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) threw a young man off the top of a building in Manbij city in Syria’s northern province of Aleppo claimed for being gay, accusing him of “sodomy”, local sources reported on Saturday.

Local activists confirmed that the man was arrested by the group’s Hisba police on alleged charges of homosexuality and was barbarically thrown from the top of a building in central Manbij.

Media activist Nasser Taljbini said that ISIS extremists have sentenced the man to death by throwing him from the top of a building in the city [Manbij], after accusing him of sodomy.

“The man was thrown brutally by ISIS masked members from the top of the building in the city,” Taljbini reported, pointing out “the corpse of the victim was transferred to an unknown destination.”

“The barbaric execution took place in front of hundreds of people,” reported Taljbini.

Before the execution, ISIS called on the residents in Manbij to gather near a building under construction on the road to Aleppo west of the city. An ISIS Sharia member read the verdict against the “unidentified” victim, according to eyewitnesses.

“Throwing gays this way will cleanse their sins” according to ISIS Sharia Court.

“The young man was taken by the masked militants to the top of the building and threw him blindfolded,” an eyewitness said.

Under the banner “Do not reach Allah’s boundaries”, the ISIS-linked Media Center in Aleppo released a new propaganda footage for the execution of the Syrian man, showing pictures of the execution’s stages.
