ISIS Executes A 15-Year-Old Boy For Listening To Western Music In Iraq

A teenage boy has been decapitated by ISIS for simply listening to Western music.

Ayham Hussein, 15, was apprehended by armed men after reportedly being caught enjoying pop music on a portable CD player in the group's Iraqi capital Mosul.

He was dragged before an Islamist court which sentenced him death in a public execution.

The execution, believed to be the first for listening to music in the city, has triggered outrage among locals.

ISIS has imposed its own form of medieval justice across parts of territory in Iraq and Syria, executing prisoners for 'crimes' such as blasphemy and being homosexual.

In a statement issued two years ago, the terrorist group also banned 'music and songs in cars, at parties, in shops and in public, as well as photographs of people in shop windows.'
