A/HRC/28/69 The body was displayed for several days. On 15 October, ISIS declared that it had executed a man in Al-Ashara for practising sorcery. 75. Dozens of executions were recorded as taking place in Al-Mayadin in July and August 2014, shortly after ISIS solidified its control of the town. Residents recalled seeing 30-40 bodies hung around the Al-Bal’oum roundabout throughout August. In August, ISIS fighters executed two men found to have committed rape. In late August, ISIS detained and beheaded a female dentist in Al-Mayadin who had continued to treat patients of both sexes. 76. Men were also executed, by beheading in Al-Bouamrou and Al-Tayanna in late July and late August, respectively. On 30 August, three males, including a 16-year-old-boy were executed at a roundabout in Al-Bouamrou. In September, ISIS killed a captured Al-Nusra fighter in a park in Al-Shuhail. 77. On 10 July, ISIS executed two men accused of being Government soldiers in front of a municipal building – which the group had transformed into an ISIS court – in Hasakah city (Al Hsakah). In late 2014, the group executed a man they believed to be a member of another armed group in Al-Houl (Al Hsakah). 78. In Hama governorates, ISIS executed a man in a public square in Aqaribat in October 2014. The group reportedly shot and killed a woman in May 2014 on the grounds that she had committed adultery. 79. Following ISIS executions, as described above, the mutilated bodies of male victims are often placed on display, a warning to the local population of the consequences of failure to submit to the armed group’s authority. The group also circulated photos of the bodies of executed captured female Kurdish fighters on social media in late 2014. Interviewees, notably in Raqqah city (Ar Raqqah) and Al-Mayadin (Dayr az Zawr) remarked that bodies were “always” on display and demonstrated a growing desensitisation that underpinned the trauma of the civilian population. Deaths in detention 80. As ISIS further solidified control of localities in north and eastern Syra, it set up court and detention facilities. Detention facilities are sometimes in former Government detention facilities, such as Jarablus prison. In other cases, ISIS sets up makeshift detention centres in municipal buildings or private houses. 81. In late September 2014, ISIS shot and killed three prisoners shortly after their arrival at Jarablus prison (Aleppo). The killing occurred soon after an airstrike close to the prison. Reportedly, two of the men were accused of being fighters with an anti-Government armed group while the third was accused of being a member of the YPG. A former detainee held by ISIS in Al-Bab (Aleppo) stated that prisoners in Al-Bab had been tortured and executed by ISIS. Prisoners were removed and did not return. This included two boys, aged 13 and 11 years. The killing of ISIS detainees was also documented in a detention centre in AlBukamel in August 2014. Killing of journalists 82. Since ISIS came into being in April 2013, the group has killed Syrian and international journalists and aid workers in a deliberate attempt to control the flow of information in the areas under its control. 83. On or about 19 August and 2 September 2014, ISIS executed two American journalists in an unknown location. On 13 September 2014, the group executed a British aid worker. All three had been abducted and detained inside Syria. Killing of civilians and captured fighters during ground attack on Ayn al-Arab (Kobane) 36
