Members of terror group Islamic State (Isis) have allegedly executed two female parliamentary candidates in the besieged city of Mosul, Kurdish media network Rudaw reported. It is believed that the women were killed in the Faisalya area in central Mosul.
"IS gunmen executed two former female candidates in Mosul after the Sharia Court issued death sentence on them," said Saad Mamuzin, the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party KDP's Mosul branch. "One of the candidates was Ibtisam Ali Jarjis on the Watanya list, and the second one was Miran Ghazi a candidate for Arab List," he added, and then explained that the two women had repented in one of IS's mosques to spare their lives.
