Islamic State militants have posted yet another set of photographs online that appear to show jihadists throwing a gay man off a rooftop and later stoning him to death.

According to News24, a statement posted alongside the images said that a "man who practiced sodomy must be thrown off the highest point in the city" and stoned to death.

It was not clear if the man in the image was thrown off a rooftop in Syria or Iraq. In the next picture, the man is shown lying on the ground.

In November, IS stoned two men to death in Syria claiming that they were gay.

IS militants have taken over large swathes of Iraq and Syria imposing a rule of terror which has led thousands to flee to nearby areas.
