Islamic State militants have imposed a new law threatening to jail any man caught wearing skinny jeans or having music on their mobile phones in an apparent crackdown on hipsters.
The terror group said it would also imprison anyone caught smoking or turning up late for prayer in further draconian crackdowns in its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa.
Violators will be jailed for ten days, during which time they will be made to take an ‘Islamic course’, it was reported by anti-ISIS informants in the city.
At the end of their prison term, they will be forced to take a test, with those who pass being released immediately. Those who don’t will be fined and kept in prison until they pass.
The introduction of the new laws were revealed by the anti-ISIS campaign group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS) who risk their lives leaking information from inside the city.
RBSS says the sanctions are ‘volatile and changeable’ but notes that they are becoming increasingly more stringent.
One resident, named only as Jassem, told the group how dozens of people had fled the city in the wake of the jihadi network’s brutal enforcement of its twisted form of sharia law.
