The militia released the two brothers, who are from the village of Dersiwan in Shara sub-district, a week after their arrest in exchange for forcing them to pay a fine of one thousand Turkish liras, despite a “release document” the tow brothers showed, issued by the Turkish authorities proving that they had been arrested previously and paid the financial fine (the ransom) too.
