A teenage boy has reportedly been thrown off a roof by ISIS militants in Syria after he was accused of being homosexual.

The 15-year-old boy was pushed to his death off a high building in Deir ezzor province in Syria.

It has been claimed that the ISIS militant that raped the young boy had only been demoted and was spared a death sentence.

One witness said that the execution took place in public, in front of a large gathering of local civilians in the area.

Video footage and photos have yet to emerge of the incident, which was revealed by ARA News. 

'The boy was accused of being engaged in a homosexual relation with the prominent ISIS officer Abu Zaid al-Jazrawi,' media activist Sarai al-Din told ARA News.  

'Abu Zaid was forced to leave Syria and join the fighting fronts in northwestern Iraq. The decision has been taken by the ISIS leadership,' al-Din said. 

                             

Homosexuality is considered an offence punishable by death, in accordance to ISIS's radical interpretation of Sharia law (file picture of previous execution)

It has been claimed the boy was arrested inside the house of the ISIS commander, who is originally thought to be from Saudi Arabia.

Homosexuality is considered an offence punishable by death, in accordance to ISIS's radical interpretation of Sharia law.

The victim was tried by an Islamic court in Deir ezzor before he was sentenced to death.

MailOnline has not been able to independently verify these claims but ISIS has previously publicly executed men in a similar manner for being found guilty of homosexuality.
