The British man Ken Bigley, who is being held hostage in Iraq, is still alive according to his brother.
Paul Bigley said he had sources that told him Ken was still alive, although the government have said they don't have a way to prove if that is right.
The people who have taken Ken Bigley have asked for all women prisoners in Iraq to be released from jail.
They are being held in a US prison in Iraq and the US military doesn't want to let them out.
