2015 Islamic State killing of Christian migrants in Libya
On 19 April 2015, a video was released by the Islamic State's Libyan branch depicting the shooting and beheading of two groups of Christian migrant workers held hundreds of miles apart. A group of around 12 captives were held on the coast in eastern Libya, while the other group of around 16 was held in a desert. The video threatened the killing of Christians who did not convert to Islam or pay jizya. Of the approximately 30 victims shown in the video, the majority were Ethiopian, but at least seven were from Eritrea. The Islamic State labeled the victims as members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
