St. Ephrem Cathedral is the seat of Syriac Orthodox Archdiocese in Mosul.
ISIS quickly began imposing Islamic rule (sharia) in Mosul soon after it took over the city. It imposed a poll tax on Christians (AINA 2014-06-21), ordered all women to veil themselves (AINA 2014-06-14), closed beauty salons and barber shops (AINA 2014-07-10) and occupied churches.
