Unfortunately, we are all too aware of how incredibly brutal ISIS can be with their hostages, however what happened to these specific captives in question was beyond horrific.
Frida Saide, a Swedish woman who actually happened to be a former ISIS hostage that shared a cell with Kayla Mueller has chosen to publically speak on her graphic and traumatizing experience as a captive.
If you are not familiar with this specific terrorist group, ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), also known as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), is a Sunni jihadist group that possesses an incredibly violent ideology that calls itself a caliphate and claims religious authority over all Muslims.
Saide also expressed her concerns for her cellmate Kayla Mueller, who was sadly executed by ISIS members despite Saide’s continued pleas for her safe release.
Below is an excerpt from DailyMail reports:
A Swedish aid worker who was held hostage in northern relived some of her darkest moments Thursday as she testified against one of her captors, El Shafee Elsheikh, a former British national who is accused of leading a kidnapping plot that resulted in the deaths of four Americans.
Nothing in her captivity nightmare horrified Frida Saide more than the day she was released in March 2014, when she pleaded with her captors to release Kayla Mueller, a 26-year-old American with whom she had shared a room for weeks.
Taking the stand at a federal courtroom in Alexandria, Virginia, Saide said the hostage-takers, a notoriously sadistic bunch captives dubbed the Beatles because of their British accents, told her she and her companions would need to raise the ransom to free Mueller.
Otherwise, they told her, Mueller would be tormented and die.’We sleep at night,’ Saide said they taunted her. ‘Will you be able to sleep at night, knowing that you have abandoned your friend?’The two-week trial has detailed the gruesome brutality inflicted on more than two dozen Western hostages held captive by the Islamic State roughly a decade ago, specifically the killings of US aid workers Mueller and Peter Kassig and journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. Kassig, Foley, and Sotloff were beheaded by terrorists in videos distributed across the world in 2014.
Mueller was raped and tortured by Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before she was killed in 2015.
The Gateway Pundit made the statement that Obama’s administration did not do so much as lift a finger to assist in saving Kayla Mueller, who had been brutally tortured, verbally abused, forced into slave labor to serve ISIS commanders in Syria, and raped by the top leader of the terrorist group. Kayla Mueller’s parents expressed their strong anguish and disgust in reaction to the lack of care and action Obama’s gang put into saving their daughter.
Sadly, Kayla’s parents never truly felt heard by anyone until President Trump came along, however it was far too late, as their daughter was already gone.
The outlet added that President Trump was mindful to not forget about Kayla, however. In fact, when it came time to take out the ISIS leader, Kayla’s parents were notified of the event. They commented, “If Donald Trump was President when Kayla was captured, she’d be here today.”
Below is the Muellers’ presentation at the 2020 RNC. It is an intensely moving yet upsetting segment, which leaves viewers struggling to not become tearful. God bless this family.
