ISIS Kills Female Citizen Journalist For Reporting in Raqqa

ISIS silently executed a female Syrian journalist and used her Facebook account to hunt down enemies for months, activists confirmed.

Hassan who studied philosophy at Aleppo University wrote under the pen name “Nissan Ibrahim” telling rest of the world what it is to be closely experiencing the terror activities.

Ruqia Hassan, 30, was killed in September, but news of her death became widely known this week after Isis claimed on social media that she was still alive.

During that time, the ISIS militants hacked Hassan’s Facebook account to talk with her friends and gather information on other journalists and activists, according to The Independent. Her post, translated by Syria Direct, reads: “Go ahead and cut off our internet, our messenger pigeons won’t complain”.

According to surces, at some point between July and December, Hassan disappeared from Raqqa city but her family was informed of her execution on charges of “espionage” only three days ago.

Asked what ISIS seeks “to achieve from executing citizens and journalists who they accuse of working with foreign media”, Syria Direct responded, “IS always wants to keep the sword hovering over the people’s necks”. She was detained in Raqqa, the de facto capital of ISIS.

Ruqia was a defiant journalist who mainly wrote about life in the Syrian city of Raqqa, which was often the bedrock of conflict between Islamic State, the Free Syrian Army and the Coalition forces.

The France-based non-profit called Reporters Without Borders designated territories controlled by ISIS as the world’s most risky area for reporters. ISIS has established a presence in and around Syria, Libya, and the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region.
