Islamic State militants have imposed a new law
threatening to jail any man caught wearing skinny jeans or having music on
their mobile phones in an apparent crackdown on hipsters.
The terror group said it would also imprison
anyone caught smoking or turning up late for prayer in further draconian
crackdowns in its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa.
Violators will be jailed for ten days, during
which time they will be made to take an 'Islamic course', it was reported by
anti-ISIS informants in the city.
At the end of their prison term, they will be
forced to take a test, with those who pass being released immediately. Those
who don't will be fined and kept in prison until they pass.
One resident, named only as Jassem, narrated
how dozens of people had fled the city in the wake of the jihadi network's
brutal enforcement of its twisted form of sharia law.
He said: 'ISIS tightens penalties and uses the
principle of intimidation in dealing with public, which led to the migration
and escape of many people.
'Freedom of expression has become a crime, so
you can not oppose a decision issued by the group.
'Otherwise you will be arrested on charges of
violation of God’s law as its fighters claim, but they are far from this law.
'There is no difference between ISIS and Assad’s
regime: bribery and favoritism are widespread within the group and play a major
role, especially among the local members of the group.
