This Brave Woman Secretly Filmed Life In ISIS's Capital In Syria

Among the people she filmed were women who have allegedly come from France to join the foreign fighters.

ISIS imposes a fiercely fundamentalist form of Islam in areas under its control. Since the militants took over Raqqa last year, there have been frequent reports of brutal killings, including public executions. Human Rights Watch has accused ISIS of committing crimes against humanity. This brave woman put herself in danger by filming ISIS in Raqqa and sharing it with the media.


In the video, the woman — dressed in the black, full-body niqab that ISIS has made mandatory — filmed armed men and niqab-clad women walking through Raqaa's streets alongside passing cars and yellow cabs.
