‘The execution of Steven Sotloff is a war crime’ - Philip Luther
Amnesty International has condemned the Islamic State’s killing of the US journalist Steven Sotloff as a war crime, while warning that the murder is just the “tip of the iceberg” in terms of war crimes being committed by Islamic State militants across Syria and Iraq.
A video published online yesterday by Islamic State showed Steven Sotloff, who was abducted in northern Syria in August last year, being killed in the same manner as fellow US freelance reporter James Foley last month.
Amnesty International Middle East and North Africa Director Philip Luther said:
“The execution of Steven Sotloff is a war crime, and it follows a pattern of other shocking atrocities carried out by the Islamic State in recent months.
“The world has rightly condemned the brutal deaths of Steven Sotloff and James Foley. These unjustifiable killings are, though, merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to abuses by the IS in Syria and Iraq
“Efforts must also be made to seek justice for the hundreds of other victims of the Islamic State’s crimes, and to protect the minority groups that remain most at risk from their attacks.”
