Reporters Without Borders has condemned the Jihadi group ‘Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant’ (ISIS) who are attacking news media and journalists in both Iraq and what they call ‘liberated areas’ of Syria. This Jihadi group uses intimidation, abduction, torture and murder to further its goal of controlling news and media information. ISIS target all who do not share their ideology and rule nothing out in order to impose a reign of terror. The local media play a crucial role in Syria, where news gathering and dissemination is becoming increasingly dangerous. Nowadays ISIS are carrying out real crimes against freedom of information. Historically the name Isis was that of the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility, now it’s a group of jihadist fighters engaged in extreme violence and instilling fear in the media and the towns by their bloody standards of Syria’s savage civil war.
