Two women were beheaded by Daesh in Syria for practising “sorcery”, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Tuesday.
“ISIS executed two women by beheading them in Deir al-Zor province, and this is the first time the Observatory has documented women being killed by the group in this manner,” chief of the rights group Rami Abdel Rahman said.
Both women are believed to have been executed with their husbands after being accused of “witchcraft and sorcery", AFP reports.
Daesh extremists have executed over 3,000 people including 74 minors since the group declared a so-called Islamic “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria last year.
