The Ma’abatli district center, on the 27th of September, witnessed a campaign of arrests of four indigenous Kurds, who are: (1 – Farhan Qalandar, 2 – Shukri Jojo 3 – Hanan Bakr 4 – Ali Kalko)
On September 11-13, the same town witnessed the arrest of 7 Kurdish citizens, accused of dealing with the Autonomous Administration. They are: 1 – Ibrahim Khanjar, 2 – Ismat Khujah, 3 – Ahmad Mashkou, 4- Imad Khanjar son of Hussein (an employee in the local council) 5- Ibrahim Sidqi ( municipality worker in the local council) 6- Shukri Hamoto son of Hassan ( transportation employee in the local council) 7- Izzat from the village of Mirkan and he is the deputy director of education in the local council of the sub-district. The three are in detention, while the primary aim of the kidnapping is to financially extort the families of the kidnapped under several names (ransom, bail, or fine).
It is noteworthy that the Turkish occupation forces and the Islamic militias affiliated with them have significantly intensified the implementation of arrest and kidnapping campaigns against the remaining indigenous Kurds, especially last August, when the number of detainees exceeded two hundred Kurdish citizens, as part of the Turkish intelligence plan by blackmailing them and depleting their financial and moral energies, they were forced to leave their homes in favor of the Islamic settlers loyal to the current Ankara government.
