Islamic State militants arrested a teenage boy in its stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria, beat him, ripped off his pants and dragged him away, a monitor said on Monday.
The IS extremists pounced on the boy in a market, claiming his trousers contravened Islamic Sharia Law, according to the UK-based Syrian Human Rights Observatory.
The monitor relies for its information on a network of activists and and medics inside Syria.
Islamic State declared Raqqa the capital of its self-styled caliphate last year and has terrorised the local population with its savage interpretation of Islam.
