In yet another ISIS video that was released on Saturday night, British ISIS hostage John Cantlie describes how captives are treated by the Islamic State and also expresses his anger towards the US and UK governments for refusing to negotiate with ISIS for the hostages’ release.

The new clip follows a similar pattern to the previous videos featuring the 43-year-old journalist, who was taken hostage in Syria while working there last year.

As in the previous propaganda clips of ISIS, the British detainee delivers the message of Islamic State staring solemnly at the camera.

Describing the life of ISIS captives during the second phase of the terrorists’ operation which involved the negotiation for their release with their governments through family and friends, Cantlie says the following:

‘Now unless we tried something stupid like escaping or doing something we shouldn’t, we were treated well by the Islamic State. Some of us who tried to escape were water-boarded by our captors as Muslim prisoners are water-boarded by their American captors. Our strange little community of prisoners had its share of problems but apart from the odd fight we lived together in relative harmony through uncertain times. We read books, played recreational games and gave lectures on our specialist subjects. It wasn’t a bad life.”
