olaniyi:
 A Syrian Sharia court in Ar-Raqqa sentenced a
girl to death for opening a Facebook account,
local media report. The girl, identified as Fatoum Al-Jassem, was
stoned to death after it had been ruled that having a
Facebook account was immoral behaviour. Accoring to the reports, she was taken to the court
by Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants
after being caught using the social networking site. The court, which is under the jurisdiction of ISIS,
ruled the act of being a member of the social
network deserved to be punished the same way as
adultery. The ISIS is a pro-Al Qaida jihadist group formed in
2013 that many fear is taking an iron grip over parts
of Syria. Rebels who have voiced their opposition to
ISIS have found themselves arrested and thrown in
jail without trial. The town's women, meanwhile, have been ordered
by ISIS via posters to 'cover up their beauty'.
