LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The video begins with the four prisoners dressed in orange jumpsuits introducing themselves to the camera and describing their roles in fighting ISIS.
After their introductions, the men are forced to watch videos of Shia's paramilitary forces burning ISIS corpses. One video the prisoners saw featured Abu Azrael, a well-known poster boy of the Imam Ali Brigade, an Iranian-backed unit fighting with the Iraqi army against ISIS.
In the video, Azrael is using a large sword to hack at a charred ISIS fighter. He carves away at the body before turning to the camera and saying, "ISIS, this will be your fate, we will cut you like shawarma."
After forced to watch the videos, the four prisoners are marched into the desert by ISIS militants in black uniforms.
They were then chained by their wrists and ankles to a metal structure and tufts of hay were positioned beneath them. A line of fuel is poured from the straw toward the ISIS members and a torch is lit. The video shows slow-motion flames traveling along the fuel.
As the flames dance across the sand, the prisoners are forced to watch in horror before being burned to death.
ISIS continues to torture and murder people every day; those facing ISIS' horrors need our prayers now more than ever.
