Samira Salih al-Nuaimi (Arabic: سميرة صالح النعيمي  ) was kidnapped, tortured for 5 days, and publicly executed in the city of Mosul, after posting comments on Facebook that were critical of Islamic State (ISIL or ISIS) for their destruction of mosques and shrines. The U.N. reports a pattern of executions of women by the Islamic State, and states, “Educated, professional women seem to be particularly at risk.”
