Apr 25 2024

ARK NRK News… After his arrest at a checkpoint in the city of Amouda in Syrian Kurdistan a few days ago, the fate of a member of the Kurdistan Yakity Party - Syria remains unknown until now.

The Yakity Media page reported in a blog post on the Facebook platform, “The Democratic Union Party militants arrested Nasser Jaro, a member of the Amuda organization of the Kurdistan Yakity Party, without explaining the reason for the arrest.”

A private source told the ARK News website that Nasser Jaro, from the village of al-Zubaiyah, was on his way to the city of Amuda “with the aim of monitoring the preparations of his harvester in preparation for the harvest season.”

He added: "His car was stopped and he was kidnapped by a checkpoint belonging to the Democratic Union Party (PYD), and his fate remains unknown until now."

It is noteworthy that as part of a series of kidnappings since the end of March 2024, the journalist Rakan Ahmed and the activist Marwan Liyani were kidnapped in the town of Girke Lage.

Ahmed Sofi, a journalist in the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, and Hissam Dorsen, cousin of the kidnapped leader Bahzad Dorsin, a member of the political bureau of the Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, were kidnapped in the city of Derik.

For its part, the Kurdish National Council condemned, in several statements, the continuation of "the intimidating practices committed by the Democratic Union Party against members and supporters of the Kurdish National Council."

It stressed that "these methods of kidnapping and acts of terror are contrary to the principles of human rights, and increase the state of societal tension in light of the difficult living and security conditions that citizens are experiencing," calling on community organizations and the international coalition to work to stop them.
