Knowing that Rashid, from “Gulaq” family, is married with two sons.
According to the afrinpost correspondent, the “Ahrar al-Sharqiya” militia had kidnapped Rashid and detained him in its headquarters in the village for four days, and as soon as he was released, a Turkish intelligence patrol raided his house to arrest him again, knowing that he is currently in the central prison of “Maarateh”, and he is to be released soon after paying a ransom.
An unknown armed group also kidnapped the settler, Ammar Medlej, from the town of Anadan from the center of the occupied city of Afrin without the intervention of the security services set up by the Turkish occupation authorities under the pretext of maintaining security and safety.
