A new video secretly filmed by two women inside Raqqa, Syria shows an inside view of what ISIS has made its de facto capital.
Militants captured the northern Syrian city in 2014. Since then, foreign militants have flocked to the city and other strongholds under their control, instituting strict control over those who live there.
Minor infractions can carry major punishments, and women have few rights under ISIS' strict enforcement of Shariah law.
"I can't wait to dress the way we used to in the past," says one of two women who filmed there, at the risk of being killed by militants if discovered. The video was shot in late winter for Expressen TV, a Swedish affiliate of CNN.
Here is the terrifying world they are forced to live in.
The women are forced to wear veils in public, under threat of public flogging or worse. They are covered and have their voices changed for interviews, since they remain in Raqqa.
