Javier Espinosa, the Spanish journalist freed in 2014 by the radical extremists ISIS DAesh, had written to share his harrowing experiences from the hands of the madmen. He had described his torturers as able experts in their own brand of bullying victims.

Held prisoner for over six months, Espinosa wrote in The Sunday Times that there was no day that Londoner militant Mohammed Emwazi, also known as "Jihadi John," did not parade his long blade and then have it “caress” Espinosa’s neck. “‘Feel it? Cold, isn’t it? Can you imagine the pain you’ll feel when it cuts? Unimaginable pain,”‘ he quoted Emwazi saying every time he does his theatrics.

“Jihadi John,” Espinosa said, further described what would happen next. “The first hit will sever your veins. The blood mixes with your saliva.” Espinosa said Emwazi had told him specifically how the beheading will be done. It was even shared to him how Espinosa’s head will be placed and treated once it’s over.

The former hostage wrote Emwazi and the other militants took pleasure in repeatedly telling their over 20 hostages that their turn could be the next following day. They do the bullying and mental degradation to their victims every single day.

Espinosa said Emwazi is one drama king, and that he was one bloodthirsty psychopath who enjoyed threatening Western hostages. “He wanted maximum drama. He had brought along an antique sword of the kind Muslim armies used in the Middle Ages. It was a blade of almost a metre in length with a silver handle.” After that, he will place a Glock pistol against their heads and pull the trigger three times.

Espinosa had been held captive for 194 days before his release in March 2014. He said most of the hostages were eventually released. However, seven have died, including six who were killed. He believed there still remains one captive. Espinosa was on assignment for the Spanish daily El Mundo when he was abducted in September 2013.
