The people were flogged hung up by their arms or put in metal cages by the militant group in incidents documented since the start of Ramadan last month the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
All victims survived the punishments carried out in Daesh-held territory in Raqqa Aleppo and Deir Ez Zor provinces the Britain-based Observatory said citing its network of contacts on the ground.
