ISIS stoned two men to death in Syria’s Mayadeen in the eastern province of Deir Al-Zor, near the border with Iraq, for allegedly being homosexual.

"ISIS today stoned to death a man that it said was gay," the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that the victim was around 20 years old.

In a separate incident, an 18-year-old was also stoned to death after the extremist group claimed he was gay, the Observatory added.
