"They told me that killing a person is not difficult for them. They said they are just helping me by keeping me; please, I am asking for help.

"Please save my life in the name of God. Look at my head; look at my legs. I was tied to a robe, and I am the only one in this place.

"Normally, if they kidnap somebody, they don't waste time. If ransom is not paid immediately, they kill the person. Please, for God's sake, help me."
