Why did he receive special treatment? "The only really bad part is that I couldn't go to the bathroom" other than 3X/day. Others were denied those privileges. What about hearing young men being tortured, as he said. That was not a "really bad" thing? What is the real story?

[@hrtdeq5432]

Because he's American, wouldn't want to make the US mad and goes all in on you, especially now that Russia couldnt even handle their own properly in Ukraine, let alone supporting Assad in case of a US invasion.

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

It's still bad. And it's not his fault he was treated better.

[@Islands-in-the-far-east]

It's because maybe he's not with the rebels.

[@fivefiveqt214]

I would say he received special treatment because he’s American??

[@rallyastra]

Educated guess. Exchange "material" when needed. Every country in the world knows that the USA will go far to secure lost citizens. So it might come in handy at some point. And you don't want to damage your goods before you trade it. Foreigners normally get a better treatment abroad, because they have a high value.

[@kristenjoyce2180]

@HidupBossKu he is a Christian missionary or something like that. He was traveling in the area independently. His family last knew he was in a different country and had no idea where he was or where he went missing from. No one knew he was there. I'm sure his captives we're keeping him in good shape as a bargaining chip for later. Which gives me some hope for the other Americans that we do know are/were being held.
