As of last December, at least 36 men in Syria and Iraq have been killed by ISIS militants on charges of sodomy, according to the New York-based OutRight Action International.
However its Middle East and North Africa coordinator, Hossein Alizadeh, said it was not possible to confirm the sexual orientation of the victims.

The fear of a horrific death among gay men under ISIS rule is further compounded by their isolation in a deeply conservative society that largely shuns them.
Many Muslims consider homosexuality to be sinful.
Gay men are haunted constantly by the possibility that someone, perhaps even a relative, will betray them to the militants – whether to curry favour with ISIS or simply out of hatred for their sexual orientation.
ISIS group fighters sometimes torture suspected homosexuals to reveal their friends' names and search their laptops and mobile phones.

Syrian rebel factions have killed or abused gays as well.
