An activist group said more than 3,000 people in Syria have perished at the hands of Daesh in the year since the militant group declared its self-described “caliphate,” AFP reported on Sunday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP it had documented 3,027 executions by Daesh since June 2014. Among those were 1,787 civilians, including 74 children.
The toll also includes the recent deaths of civilians in Kobani, who were killed when the militant group launched an attack on the town after being expelled in January.
The Observatory told AFP it had counted 223 executions in Kobani this week.
