Women were lashed for not covering eyes: Former IS female fighter

A former Islamic State (IS) fighter, who joined the terror group's women's brigade, has reportedly revealed that women were not allowed to show their eyes and were lashed for not adhering to the rules outlined by the terror group.

The 25-year-old fighter, who called herself Khadija, said that the group was responsible for patrolling the streets of Raqqa and ensuring that women abided by the codes of conduct laid down by the IS that banned form-fitting or beaded abayas, reported the CNN.

The squad is called Khansa's brigade and comprises about 25 to 30 women led by commander Umm Hamza, she said.

Khadija said that the brutalities unleashed by the group prompted her to leave the group.
