Barbaric Islamic State have executed a seven-year-old boy for swearing while playing football with friends.
The child, named as Muaz Hassan, was reportedly murdered in a public square in Raqqa, Syria.
Hundreds
of people witnessed the execution, including the child's parents who
collapsed after he was killed on Thursday afternoon.
ISIS police arrested the boy days before the execution. He was shot dead after a Sharia Court ruled he was acting against Islamic law.
An ISIS member of
the Sharia Court said: "Daesh police arrested Muaz Hassan earlier this
week in the city of Raqqa, after they heard him 'cursing divinity' while
playing in the street with his friends.
"The act was considered an insult to the Caliphate, regardless of the age of the boy."
But outraged human rights activists have claimed the death goes
against every legitimate principle which says children are not held
accountable for their acts.
