ISIS behead 15-year-old for listening to music

The execution has sparked outrage among local people

ISIS have beheaded a 15 year old boy for listening to Western Music, ARA News reports.

Ayham Hussein was allegedly caught enjoying pop tunes on a portable CD player in the Iraqi capital Mosul.

He was later arrested by militants and dragged before an Islamist kangaroo court. He was sentenced to death in a public execution.

A spokesman for the Nineveh media centre told ARA News: “Ayham Hussein was captured by the jihadis while listening to pop music at the grocery store of his father in the Nabi Younis marketplace in western Mosul.”

The execution, believed to be the first for listening to music in the city, has sparked outrage among local people.

The source added: “There was no formal decision by the sharia court that bans listening to western music.”

It has been reported that his body was handed over to his family on Tuesday.
