Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim, 48, was stoned to death by militants from the Hizb Al-Islam group in Afgoye, district Somalia, in 2009

Stoning is a form of execution by torture where the individual who throws the deadly stone cannot be identified.

In some countries, those sentenced to stoning, or “lapidation” as it is also called, are buried in a hole and covered with soil (men up to their waists; women to a line above their breasts), according to Article 102 of the Islamic Penal Code.

A selected group then executes the alleged adulterers using rocks and sticks. Those able to escape the hole during stoning can be freed, according to Islamic law, a feat that is much more difficult for women than for men because so much more of their body is covered during lapidation.

Stoning is considered a form of community justice and has its fair share of critics both among human rights groups and Islamic clerics.

In Somalia, a 48-year old man was buried up to his waist and stoned to death by 50 men in a stadium with 1000 spectators. After his death it was revealed he saw a girl that has been raped by three men and he was arrested after trying to report the rape to militants who controlled the city

    Stephen was a martyr,stoned to death for witnessing about Jesus Christ as Saviour. Stephen was basically killed for telling the truth. May the soul of this man killed despite being innocent rest in peace. Some people call good evil as happened here,for reporting rape which is the correct and proper behaviour he was killed. The killing which was bad is now the good in the community. While the reporting which was good is now called evil. Psalm 52:1-4. Evil shall not go unpunished whether now or later,we must continue to live righteous. Righteousness exalts a nation but Sin or evil is a reproach

19 Yazidi girls burned alive for refusing to have sex with their ISIS captors

19 Yazidi girls burned alive for refusing to have sex with their ISIS captors ISIS burned alive 19 Yezidi girls who refused to convert to Islam and become sex slaves. None of the Muslims organized a march for them! Nineteen Iraqi Yazidi girls who refused to have sex with their Islamic State captors were placed in iron cages and burned alive in front of a crowd of hundreds in Mosul on Thursday, activists and witnesses say. “The 19 girls were burned to death, while hundreds of people were watching,” a witness told ARA News. “Nobody could do anything to save them from the brutal punishment.” ISIS took the girls – and thousands of others -- as sex slaves after overtaking a northern Iraqi region they called home in August 2014. “They were punished for refusing to have sex with ISIS militants,” local activist Abdullah al-Malla told ARA News. Human Rights Watch and the United Nations have called on ISIS to release the girls, citing human rights abuses. “The l

  German women were r*ped by all armies at the end of the second world war. From the archive, 17 June 1955: Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present.

An unauthorized photo of Stalin: the moment he was informed that the Germans were about to take Kiev, 1941

Image
  An unauthorized photo of Stalin inside of the Kremlin shows the very moment he was informed that the German armies had advanced in Kyiv (August 1941). What you see here is a man who up until a few weeks before had absolute confidence in Plan A, and who now has no Plan B. The picture was taken by Komsomolskaya Pravda’s editor-in-chief. The photographer secretly defied orders to destroy it as it was deemed not to show Stalin in a positive light. Operation Barbarossa, the German attack on the Soviet Union, was the greatest military operation of World War II. It deployed thousands of aircraft, tanks, artillery guns, and more than six million soldiers. Furthermore, it brought two of probably the most totalitarian regimes in history against one another. However, in the first few weeks of the operation, it didn’t look like the clash of two giants. The German advance seemed like an easy summer walk — the Red Army was simply unable to challenge them. The Soviet commande
