ISIS religious police HQ discovered where women were tortured with poles and chains for breaking terror group’s rules
Syrian Democratic Forces reclaimed the building in Manbij after pushing back the terror group
THIS footage reveals the horror of an ISIS "religious police" headquarters where women were tortured with poles and chains if they were spotted without their faces covered.
Syrian Democratic Forces reclaimed the building in Manbij after defeating the terror group near the Turkish border in northern Syria.
In the video, an SDF fighter explains the Hasba centre and ISIS' torture methods.
Men would observe the attire and behaviour of the local people and bring them to the torture centre if they were spotted breaking their strict sharia law.
He said: "Some of them are in charge of arresting smokers. Some of them deal with the people who do not dress in the way Daesh ordered them to.
"They bring wrongdoers to the Hasba, people who wear tight pants, women who do not cover their eyes. Do you see the covered market.
Women always shop there, if they uncover their eyes to see they get brought here. It is a total humiliation, a humiliation to all humanity."
The fighter discovered metal chains and pipes used on women who dared to break ISIS' rules.
The terror group would hold prisoners in the religious police centre for two days and then transfer them elsewhere.

Another room inside the prison included a television where prisoners were shown ISIS propaganda videos "in an attempt to deceive them."
Documents left by jihadis show how a shop owner and a woman were arrested because she uncovered her face next to him.
The SDF fighter added: "There is a woman wearing makeup at the shop - this is why they arrested her. They asked for her ID and she refused. So they brought the shop owner here."
On Friday the SDF announced they had launched a final assault to flush the remaining jihadists out of Manbij.
ISIS fighters seized around 2,000 civilians to use as human shields in a sick escape effort.
The Arab-Kurdish alliance expelled most of the ISIS fighters from the town last week, but a small number remained.
With air support from the US-led coalition, the SDF began its assault on Manbij on May 31.
However, their offensive was slowed by a jihadist fightback which employed suicide attackers and car bombs.
A major push last week saw the SDF seize 90 per cent of the town.
Tens of thousands of people lived in Manbij before the assault started in May.
Since then, the United Nations estimates that 78,000 have been displaced.
