A shocking video purportedly showing a crucifixion in Syria has surfaced online.
The footage was said to be taken in the city of Rakka and shows a blindfolded man pinned to a wooden board on public display.
Reports say he was being punished by the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham (ISIS), under the allegation of purposely killing someone to take this money.
The video was posted online on the 22nd March by a media-activist group, RMCALRAQQA, from the city but cannot be currently independently verified.
It comes amid continued fighting between rebels and government forces along border communities.
On Sunday, Turkish armed forces shot down a Syrian plane which it said had crossed into its airspace. Syria denied that and said the jet was pursuing rebel fighters inside the country.
