ISIS Members Throw Another 'Gay' Man Off Building

Members of the militant group ISIS have killed another man believed to be gay by throwing him off a building in the group's de facto capital of Raqqa, the Daily Mail reports.
Disturbing photos have surfaced this week that show a large crowd of people gathered at the bottom of a building waiting for ISIS members to push a blindfolded man, believed to be in his 20s, off the roof. The Daily Mail writes that the bearded militants threw the man off the tallest building in Raqqa and that they also filmed the incident on their cell phones.
The images of the horrific event were released by local activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently. Members of the group work undercover to expose ISIS' tactics.
"The photographs carry the distinctive yellow logo of ISIS' propaganda wing Al Hayat Media Centre, suggesting they come from an as-yet unreleased video of the savage murder," the Daily Mail writes.
The newspaper also notes that there were so many people at the bottom of the building to watch the alleged gay man fall face first to his death that cars could not pass in the streets.
This isn't the fist time ISIS has thrown a man off a building because its members believed the victim was gay.
Last month it was reported ISIS members stoned a "gay" man after he survived being pushed off a building. Before that, in December, alleged ISIS members threw another gay man off a building.
