Afrin… An engineer was kidnapped and three civilians, including a woman, were arrested in Afrin

ARK News… Kurdish politician Adnan Mustafa, on Sunday, November 1, 2023, said that armed factions arrested three Kurdish civilians in Afrin, Syrian Kurdistan, while an engineer was kidnapped two days ago and his fate remains unknown until now.

Mustafa confirmed that the military police arrested three civilians, including a woman, in the village of Hasa in Mabata district, on charges of neglecting the previous administration (PYD), noting that the three had settled their situations.

He continued in his interview with ARK that the detainees had been subjected to arrest on previous dates, and they were:
1- Abdo King Khamis, 37 years old
2- Fahima Ahmed Taher, 27 years old
3- Muhammad Ahmed Mustafa Haji, 30 years old

Stressing that their fate is unknown yet. In a related context, the family of engineer Sheikho Haj Ahmed confirmed that he was kidnapped while he was heading from the city of Afrin to his village, Zaytonake, and they found his car near the village of Steer, in an area 500 meters away from the Sultan Murad checkpoint.

They indicated that the car and some of its contents were stolen. His family fears that he is among the missing and forcibly disappeared, and they appeal to the responsible authorities to search for him and reveal his fate.

After three weeks of detention, the two doctors, Lazgin Saleh and Wardan Wardan (from the Arab component), were released last September 28, after proving their innocence of the charge against them of using narcotic substances.

After Turkey and the armed factions invaded of Afrin and its countryside, arbitrary arrests and kidnappings were repeated with the aim of obtaining financial ransom, and most of the charges are dealing with the PYD administration.
