Islamic State militants in Syria stoned to death a young woman who they had accused of committing adultery.

According to the Arabic language news site Al-Arabiya, the stoning took place in the eastern part of the Hama province. A gruesome video of the execution was published by the media sources of the Islamic State (see below).

The video shows the victim’s father standing next an Islamic State member while facing his daughter. Using a pleasant, gentle tone, the militant explains to the woman that she is being punished for the crime of adultery.

The Islamic State member then asks the father if he’s willing to forgive his daughter. The father refuses adamantly. Turning to his daughter he adds, “I’m not your father.”

The militant again tries to convince the father to forgive his daughter before she is stoned to death, but he refuses. The daughter pleads with her father to forgive her, only to be told by him, “Don’t call me father.” In the end, the father only agrees to say, “Allah will forgive.”

The video then shows the central militant from the Islamic State turning to the woman and saying, “My sister, I want to tell you a few words. You are about to receive a punishment that Allah commanded.”

He then turns to the Muslim men, telling them that they should not leave their wives for more time that is allowed according to (Islamic) sharia law.

The woman is then covered in a blanket, with her face left exposed. Her father ties her arms at her waist and then led her to a pit. He proceeds to tie her legs together after which the Islamic State militants, together with the father, start pummeling her head with large stones.

At this point the image is blurred by the Islamic State’s video editor, however the act of the stoning can still be seen.

Towards the end of the video, music -- added by the Islamic State’s editors – accompanies the scene of the father hurling, at point blank range, one stone after another at his daughter’s head.

Warning, very graphic, disturbing images
