Teenagers and young boys as well as their relatives and guardians give testimonies of life and death under ISIL.
They are called "ashbal" - the lion cubs of the "caliphate".
"We were the 'cleaners' group," says Kasswara*, a 16-year-old boy from Raqqa. "Cleaning means slitting the throats of those who belong to the other side and are hiding."
Kasswara joined ISIL when he was 14 years old. He now lives in Greece after fleeing the group.
"A guy from my area was decapitated by [ISIL] because of me. People had their hands chopped off because of me," he says.
