Crucifixion
Crucifixion is a method of capital punishment in which the victim is tied or nailed to a large wooden beam and then left to hang for several days until eventual death from exhaustion and asphyxiation. The crucifixion of Jesus is a central narrative in Christianity, and the cross (often with a naked hardbodied Jesus nailed upon it) is the main religious symbol for many Christian churches.
Crucifixion is still used as a method of execution in a number of developmentally-retarded countries. The punishment of crucifixion (șalb) imposed in Islamic law is variously interpreted as exposure of the body after execution, crucifixion followed by stabbing in the chest, or crucifixion for three days, survivors of which are allowed to live. In April 2014 Islamic extremists carried out seven public executions in Raqqa, northern Syria. The pictures, originally posted to Twitter by a student at Oxford University, were retweeted by a Twitter account owned by a known member of ISIL causing major media outlets to incorrectly attribute the crucifixions to the militant group. In most of these cases of "crucifixion" the victims are shot first then their bodies are displayed but there have also been reports of "crucifixion" preceding shootings or decapitations as well as a case where a man was said to have been "crucified alive for eight hours" with no indication of whether he died. In February 2015 the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) reported that ISIL had committed "several cases of mass executions of boys, as well as reports of beheadings, crucifixions of children and burying children alive". In the same year a video surfaced depicting members of the Azov Battalion, an official regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, allegedly crucifying a separatist rebel of Novorossiya and burning him alive. Therein they declare, "all the separatists, traitors of Ukraine and militia fighters [sic] will be treated the same".
