Afrinpost – Special
Islamic militias affiliated with the Turkish occupation and the Muslim Brotherhood continue the kidnappings of the Kurdish indigenous people in the occupied region of Afrin in northern Syria, in order to collect funds by imposing financial ransoms on the families of the kidnapees, after the charges were prepared against them, such as dealing with “People’s Protection Units” or working for the former “self-management”.
In this context, the “Afrinpost” reporter in the Shirawa district said that the “Failaq Al-Sham” militia started a campaign of arrests in the village of “Burj Haydar” of Shirawa district, which also targeted young men and adults.
The correspondent indicated that this came after the “Afrin Liberation Forces” killed a leader in the “Failaq Al-Sham” militia in the village of “Burj Haidar” called “Abu Khaled” after an operation carried out between the villages of Kafr Nebo and Burj Haidar.
The reporter mentioned the names of the kidnapees, namely: Agid Rashid – Tareq Ahmad Sulaiman – Sulaiman Bakri Aref.
There are a large number of the indigenous people of the village who refused to leave despite the successive kidnapping campaigns launched by the Islamic militias of the Turkish occupation.
In the context, the “Afrinpost” correspondent said that there are about 30 settler families from Idlib and Ghouta in the village, who occupy the homes of the people who were abandoned during the occupation of Turkey and its militia to the village.
Islamic militias rely on kidnapping as a means of obtaining money, which is one of the methods they followed since the beginning of the occupation of Afrin, while the Turkish occupation supervises these operations as one of the methods of displacing the Kurds and preventing the displaced from returning.
