An ISIS militant reportedly executed his own mother in public for asking him to come out from the group, according to a report by ITV News. His mother had `pleaded with him to leave the so-called Islamic State (IS).'

A report credited to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said Syrian woman was killed by her 20-year-old son in front of "hundreds of citizens" near a post office in the IS stronghold of Raqqa where she worked.

Activists working for the UK-based monitoring group said several sources had confirmed the shooting of the woman, who was in her forties.

They said she was executed "under the pretext of 'inciting her son to leave the Islamic State and escaping together to the outside of (Raqqa) and that the Coalition will kill all members of the organisation'."

According to India based `Times Now' Ali Saqr, 20, had reported his mother, Lina, to IS authorities in Raqa "because she tried to persuade him to leave IS and flee the city," 

Authorities subsequently arrested the woman and accused her of apostasy, the monitoring group said. On Wednesday, she was shot to death by her son "in front of hundreds of people close to the mail service building in Raqa city," the Observatory added.

Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said the woman, who was in her forties, was living in the nearby town of Tabaqa but worked in Raqa city

More than 260,000 people have been killed in Syria's war since it erupted in March 2011 and millions of others displaced.
