Activists inside Syria have revealed that an ISIS fighter has executed his own mother in Raqqa after he reported her for trying to persuade him to leave the jihadi group.
The sickening act was witnessed by a large crowd in front of the postal building inside the ISIS stronghold in Syria, according to activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently.
Ali Saqr al-Qasem used an assault rifle to execute his mother Lena, 45, after she was found guilty of apostasy.

The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights have revealed that Ms al-Qasem was also accused of trying to persuade her son to abandon ISIS and flee Syria with her.
Fearing for his own safety within the brutal organisation, it appears Ali reported his mother, leading to her arrest.

It is likely she was subjected to a trial in the local Islamic court, situated near the roundabout where notorious British jihadi Mohammed Emwazi was killed in an airstrike.
It is unclear why Ali was given the task of executing his own mother. However it is possible he may requested to carry out the harrowing act or more likely he was ordered to do it as a test of loyalty.

Iraqi military claimed that ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani has reportedly been wounded
Ms al-Qasem was executed outside the postal building, where it is thought she used to work.
The news comes as the Iraqi military claimed that ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani has reportedly been wounded in an air strike in Iraq's western province of Anbar.
'There are confirmed reports that the so-called terrorist Abu Muhammad al-Adnani the spokesman of the Daesh (Islamic State) terrorists was wounded in an air strike ... in the region of Barwana,' the military statement said.
Adnani lost 'a large amount of blood' in the attack a few days ago, before being moved to the northern city of Mosul, Islamic State's capital in Iraq, the statement added.
More than 100 Islamic State fighters were killed in and around Barwana this week by air strikes aimed at helping the Iraqi army repel militant offensives near the city of Haditha, according to the U.S.-led coalition.
Adnani is a Syrian from Idlib who pledged allegiance to Islamic State's predecessor al Qaeda more than a decade ago and was once imprisoned by U.S. forces in Iraq, according to the Brookings Institution.
Adanani has been the chief propagandist for the hardline jihadist group since he declared in a June 2014 statement that it was establishing a modern-day caliphate spanning large swaths of territory it had seized in Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
William McCants, a Brookings scholar who is author of the book 'The ISIS Apocalypse,' said if true, Adnani's wounding could be a significant setback for Islamic State.
'If he's incapacitated, Baghdadi has lost a very trusted adviser,' he said by phone, referring to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. 'His name has been floated as a possible successor... and he's an effective propagandist.'
U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren, spokesman for the coalition bombing Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, could not confirm the Iraqi military report but said Adnani had not been targeted by a coalition air strike.
