The Islamic State (IS) announced to punish anyone who watched last Sunday's football match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona last Sunday with 80 lashes.
The militant outfit has been conducting a rigorous drive to deny any sort of entertainment for people, from listening music to watching sports, saying they are 'acts of Western moral decadence'.
Fortunately, no news relating to the capture of any football fans surfaced as Barcelona beat their opponents 2-1.
In January, IS reportedly executed 13 teenage boys for watching the Asia Cup clash between Iraq and Jordon seven days prior.
The boys were ‘caught’ watching the match on TV in Mosul, which is under control of the IS.
The IS declared curfew last month in Tel Abiad located in the north of Raqqa province, where an anti-IS group succeeded in confiscating shocking videos of violence and oppression.
