By day, they faced torture and the constant threat of execution at the hands of their ISIS captors. At night, they used a stolen piece of jagged metal to scrape the crumbling wall of their prison until last week, when they had fashioned a hole big enough to squeeze through.
A 30-year-old man who was one of 20 who fled the jail in Tabaqa, Syria, days later recounted the daring escape to the Syrian activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently. As the prisoners poured out of the hand-hewn tunnel, running all directions into the night, a siren and the cries of a captured fellow escapee spurred him on until, exhausted, he reached the home of strangers. They hid him until he contacted a friend who came for him.
“Every day for three months they tortured him,” the friend, who is a member of the group of former residents of Raqqa now dedicated to shining a light inside the caliphate, where international media cannot go, told FoxNews.com. “But after a while, the torture just became routine.”
The escapee, whose name and photo cannot be used for his own safety, is now in hiding near the Turkish border. He is one of several onetime prisoners of ISIS who clawed their way out of the terrorist group’s makeshift dungeons in Syria and Iraq and now tell similar, harrowing stories. Hussam Eesa, a member of Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, said the accounts of former prisoners are vital for telling the outside world of the brutality inflicted on Syrians and Iraqis by ISIS.

Isn't every wall of every building crumbling in that POS country?
from the article:
>>“But they also kill some of them whenever ISIS gets harshly attacked in a fight,” the former captive said. “Or sometimes they just kill so they can use it to boost the morale of their own fighters.”<<
The executions will continue until morale improves?
Filthy savages...
Frankly, I am surprised to hear that they even take and keep individual prisoners like this. Seems like they would just kill anyone getting in their way.
They are subhuman savages.
Not since August 1945 has one group so deserved nuclear annihilation.
They sure are
***“These people were mostly arrested after ISIS took over Mosul and Tikrit,” he said. “ISIS lied to them and told them, ‘We will give you safety if you give up your weapons,’ but then they arrested them. Many have been executed, but many are still in these prisons.”***
Sounds like the plan of the gun control enthusiasts.
Geez - just like the stories that used to come out of Saddam’s Iraq - we’re not going to fall for that again are we?....
You don’t really think that the ISIS terrorist are taking humanly care of their prisoners.
Katyn Forest...
Sorry - should have put a /sarc tag - was really thinking of those who now say we never should have gone into Iraq because after all Saddam was really not so bad, he was just killing terrorists, we treated his people worse than he did, etc - Saddam was a butcher as is ISIS - let’s not go after them and then when the going gets rough find excuses for not finishing the job and running away the way we did with Saddam.....
Thank you. I learn something new every day on FR.
All because of the instability that the current admin brought to the region.
The aftermath of revolution
And that is factual
One small dial-a-yield.
There would be “outrage” for about 6 weeks, then, well, something else would happen, like a hurricane, and it would be forgotten.
Of course, the Israelis could do it with some of that old Sov Pu that was floating around for a while, so everyone would blame the Russians.....
