The militants of the terrorist group “Islamic state” (IG, is prohibited in Russia) for the last three days executed at least 21 civilian Iraqi city of Mosul. About it reports Reuters.
All the victims were shot. Their bodies were not given to relatives for burial.
“As usual, we saw no bodies, we received only a list of names of the executed. Now most of the shootings occur on charges of cooperation with Iraqi intelligence services”, — said a source in the forensic Department of the city.
According to him, the victims buried in mass graves on the outskirts and not in the cemeteries, as militants believe those executed apostates, unworthy of burial in a religious ceremony.
At the same time, the Agency with reference to the human rights organization Human Rights Watch reported that soldiers of the Iraqi army, Kurdish militia, the Peshmerga, and fighters from various volunteer units, leading the battle for Mosul, are involved in extrajudicial killings and executions of militants.
