| Ruquia Hassan |
Report has disclosed that the
ISIS has killed Ruquia Hassan, the first
female journalist in Syria.
Hassan, 30, was a woman who dared to defy ISIS in its
stronghold of Raqqa, Syria.
According to the social media
accounts of citizen journalists from Raqqa, Hassan was killed sometime late
last year. But ISIS only informed her family of her death this week, saying she
had been "executed" for "espionage."
It's believed to be the first
time that ISIS has killed a female citizen journalist in Syria.
Hassan was known by the pseudonym, Nisan Ibrahim and was one of a number of young activists in Raqqa who tried to
get word to the outside world of what was really happening in the city.
