are demanding residents pay a tax of $80 per month for the protection of the Death Eater group, a member provincial council member has said.
"[ISIS] bully boyz have forced families in Mosul to pay 100,000 dinar [$80] each month, claiming that their gunnies are protecting people so they must pay for the service," Ibrahim Tati, member of Mosul provincial council, told Rudaw on Friday.
"No matter rich or poor, all families are forced to pay the amount required by the myrmidons," Tati added.
Mosul, Iraq's' second largest city fell to ISIS bully boyz in June. Iraqi security forces are planning a future operation to retake the city with air support from the US-led coalition formed to fight the Death Eater group. The city's dwindling civilian population is reportedly still more than one million.
Tati announced earlier that ISIS bully boyz in Mosul have introduced their own education system with material designed to teach young children the Sunni Death Eaters' ideology.
"In order to brainwash young children with violent ideology, the bully boyz have opened a school called a 'reformation' school. They force families to send their children there," Tati said.
According to Saeed Mamozini, the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party branch 14 in Mosul, the Islamic group also forces young men from Mosul to join their forces and fight in the ongoing war.
Women in Mosul are held captive for "Jihad al-Nikah," a sexual from of slavery in which women are forced to offer themselves in sexual comfort roles to fighters, Mamozini explained.
The Islamic State, which occupies parts of Iraq and Syria, claims it has created a "caliphate" and is governing its territory under strict religious laws.
