ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Islamic State (ISIS) executed 10 physicians in Mosul for refusing to treat the group's wounded fighters, well-placed sources in Mosul said.
They reported Monday that ISIS had shot the physicians over their refusal to treat jihadi fighters wounded in clashes or shelling.
"Because of extensive attacks and shelling on ISIS, the hospitals of the city (Mosul) are filled with ISIS wounded fighters," said a source in Mosul. "ISIS has evacuated all other patients in the hospitals in order to treat its own wounded fighters," he added. “Medical equipment is only being used to treat ISIS fighters."
The source assessed the executions as a measure against the people of Mosul.
The Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights announced last year that ISIS killed six doctors because they were not prepared to treat ISIS fighters.
