A masked Islamic State militant holding a knife speaks next to man purported to be U.S. journalist James Foley at an unknown location in this still image from an undated video posted on a social media website. Islamic State insurgents released the video on August 19, 2014 purportedly showing the beheading of Foley, who had gone missing in Syria nearly two years ago, and images of another U.S. journalist whose life they said depended on U.S. action in Iraq. The video, titled "A Message to America," was released a day after Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot that has overrun large parts of Iraq, threatened to attack Americans "in any place."

Beheading, stoning to death and now wakeboarding. Based on videos released by the Islamic State, the militant organisation is high on the list of breaching human rights, the latest of which is gorging a hostage with water and then placing extreme pressure on his midsection.

Wakeboarding, not the kind that surfers and water athletes enjoy, but the method that military and police organisations often illegally employ to force enemies or suspects admit to a crime, is used on IS hostages who were caught escaping, disclosed British hostage John Cantlie.

Cantlie, a journalist who worked for major British dailies and was captured in late 2012, admitted he is a prisoner of the IS, but said he felt abandoned by his government that prompted him to release the warning in an IS video which he insisted he made on his own volition.

Here is the first in what Cantlie said would be a series of videos about the truth in the ongoing IS battle with western nations.

His revelation on the use of waterboarding, at the same time, hits back at how the US treats some of its prisoners who are followers of the Islam faith. "Some of us who tried to escape were waterboarded by our captors, as Muslim prisoners are waterboarded by their American captors," Cantlie said, quoted by BBC.

While Cantlie accused the British government of abandoning him, his recently deceased 80-year-old father, Paul, asked from his deathbed for the release of his 43-year-old son.

After his first capture in July 2012, Cantlie escaped with help from the Free Syrian Army, but he was kidnapped in Syria for the second time after several months by the IS which had so far decapitated two British and two American hostages who also appeared in short video clips prior to their beheading.

Like James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Alan Henning and David Haines, Cantlie wore an orange jumpsuit in the IS video titled Lend Me Your Ears, which eventually becomes "Lend Me You Neck" as Jihadist John does his job of chopping heads of hostages.
