ISIS fighters pushed a man off a building for being gay and then stoned his lifeless body as it lay on the ground.
In a number of photographs released by the religious extremists, the terrified man, who is believed to be in his 50s, sits blind-folded on a plastic chair as an executioner takes photos of the crowd below.
In another picture, the victim can be seen falling to his death from the high building in the Syrian city of Raqqa.

The fighters obviously read out his "judgement" before carrying out the sentence, stating that that he should be thrown down from the highest point in the city for being gay.
This will be the fourth time in few weeks that the jihadist group has used the horrific execution method for alleged homosexuality.
After it was revealed he had videos on his mobile phone showing him 'practising indecent acts with men,' a 20-year old man was stoned to his death in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor late November last year, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The London based activist group also reported that an 18-year-old man was subjected to the same punishment in a separate incident.
Public executions are popular with Islamic state who rule parts of northern Iraq and Syria with an iron fist, meting out harsh punishments for actions they deem violating their interpretation of Islamic law, such as adultery, stealing and blasphemy.
ISIS also recently beheaded an innocent man in Syria for entertaining onlookers with magic tricks just like global superstar Dynamo.
And last month in Iraq ISIS fighters executed 13 football fans for tuning into watch Iraq take on Jordan in the Asian Cup.
