ISIS Claimed First Female Journalist Execution
RAQQA – The first citizen female journalist has been executed by ISIS for reporting inside captured territory. The young and often outspoken reporter, Ruqia Hassan, spoke of her possible fate when death threats were received from ISIS. Some of her last words were posted to her Facebook account discussing her what was to be her fate. “When ISIS arrest and kill me it’s ok because…it’s better than [living] in humiliation with ISIS,” Hassan had said in July.
According to a Syrian journalism organization, Syria Direct, Ruqia Hassan has become the fifth journalist reporting on ISIS to be killed since October."

"Hassan, who reported under the pseudonym ‘Nisan Ibrahim’ often frequented her Facebook account, posting her discussions and observations of the situation in Raqqa. Syrian Direct reported an abrupt end to her posts occurred on July 21, 2015. The exact date of Hassan disappearing can’t be pinpointed, but is considered to be somewhere between July and December
Three days ago ISIS contacted Hassan’s family to inform them of her execution under charges of “espionage,” was reported. Furat al-Wafaa, also an independent citizen journalist, commented to Syria Direct’s Ammar Hammou that Hassan “often reported on airstrikes in Raqqa as they happened.” She participated in the revolution’s protests and demonstrations and challenged ISIS often with her reports.

Her final Facebook post mocked IS for banning Wi-Fi hotspots in the city of Raqqa. “Go ahead and cut off our Internet,” she had said, “our messenger pigeons won’t complain.”
Abu Mohammed, founder of Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), a group focused on exposing human rights abuses within Syria, confirmed Hassan’s death.

An Islamic State militant carried out a public "execution" of his mother because she asked him to leave the group, activists say.
Ali Saqr, 21, killed his mother, Lena al-Qasem, 45, outside the post office in Raqqa, Syria, eyewitnesses said.
Raqqa has served as IS' de facto capital since the group captured the city in August 2013.
IS does not tolerate any dissent and imposes brutal punishments, often carried out in public.
The UK-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) and the activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RIBSS) reported the incident. RIBSS however said that the woman was killed for the crime of apostasy.
Lena al-Qasem had reportedly told her son that the US-led military alliance fighting IS would "wipe out" the group, and tried to convince him to leave the city with her.
Her son is then said to have informed the group of her comment. They then ordered that she be killed.
However, one activist in the town of Tabaqa, where the fighter's father still lives, said that Ms Qasem had gone missing some time ago after being accused of being a "regime spy" and that there was no confirmed news of her execution.

IS has killed many people for apostasy, homosexuality or supposedly practising magic. The reports that Lena al-Qasem was killed by her own son have provided the latest macabre twist to capture the world's attention.
As the air onslaught on IS in Raqqa intensifies, there's recently been an apparent rise in the public murder of residents there for trying to tell the world what's happening or challenging the group's rule with their behaviour or desire to escape.
A young woman, Ruqia Hasan, was killed for writing about life under IS, even as she tried to continue living as normally as possible.
Before it was taken over by IS, Raqqa was held by other rebel groups - some still true to the original impulse of political opposition to President Assad.
Many left, some were killed, but others remain - their unsilenced voices a rebuke to IS as the group faces an intensifying onslaught in Raqqa and elsewhere.
Ali Saqr is reported to have shot her outside the post office where she worked, in front of hundreds of people.
IS, a jihadist group which follows its own extreme version of Sunni Islam, took over large parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
Since then the group has killed more than 2,000 people for reasons including homosexuality, and for the alleged practice of magic and apostasy, according to the SOHR.
