Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Daily Mail, a man was accused of being a spy and was promptly dragged from his home.
Three months later, he was brutally executed in one of many bloody public squares.
The alleged spy, Milad Ahmed Abourgheba, was crucified without his family's knowledge. A relative of Abourgheba's, simply called "Ali," described Abourgheba's three-month absence and sudden death.
"He disappeared for three months. Then on January 16 [2016], they shot him dead. The man who shot him was Tunisian and was in a wheelchair. They shot him in public and then they crucified him for three days in Zaafran Square."
Abourgheba was accused of spying on behalf of the Libyan government and was murdered beside two others.
The terrorist organization later released images of the murders, with the wheelchair executioner calmly posed beside the soon-to-be killed men.
The video was originally released in February alongside several images.
The identities of the alleged spies were not available at that time, but it has been confirmed that one of the men was Abourgheba.
Letta Tayler, the Human Rights Watch's senior terrorism and counter-terrorism researcher, told The Telegraph: "While we were not able to determine why Isil [ISIS] chose this particular man to do the deed, the execution was publicly staged and is clearly sanctioned propaganda. It's not out of the question that Isil used this ghastly occasion to promote the group as some kind of equal opportunities organisation.
"The idea appears to be to show that Isil runs a normal state like any other where there are disabled people and so on. ... As if beheading and shooting perceived enemies isn't enough, Isil is causing terrible suffering in Sirte even for Muslims who follow its rules."
