Daesh militants brutally beat own fighters for smoking cigarettes

A new video has emerged from territories under the control of Daesh terrorist group which purportedly shows the brutal beating of the group’s fighters for smoking cigarettes, according to Khaama Press.

The video was reportedly released by the terror group showing the men lined up and sitting against a wall as a masked militant walks up and downs them.

Smoking is banned by the terror group which enforce strict rules and consider the habit a “slow suicide” and therefore as un-Islamic.

The group punishes the convict with 40 lashes at first and at second offense the convict is whipped and imprisoned but anyone violating the rule for the third time would be fined with a large sum of money and would be sent to a country camp.

The violation of the rule could also lead to execution besides public whipping and massive fine.

This comes as a senior Daesh police chief was found decapitated with a cigarette hanging from his mouth in February earlier this year.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the body of the senior police chief was found with words “O Sheikh this is munkar” written on his body, translated as “this is evil, you Sheikh”.
