The Turkish occupation and its mercenaries continue to kidnap civilians in the occupied Afrin region with the aim of stifling them to leave their homes and villages in implementation of Turkish policies aimed at conducting the demographic change in the region.

According to the information obtained by the Organization, the mercenaries surrounded the house of Nuri, a citizen in the occupied city of Afrin. He is from the village of "Mosako" in "Rajo" district in the occupied Afrin canton. He was kidnapped and taken to an anonymous destination.

The citizen Nuri works in a pastries store in Kawa square in the occupied city of Afrin.

It is worth mentioning that the father of the kidnapped Nuri, the elderly "Nazmi Rashid Akkash, 73 years old," had also lost his life after a quarrel with settlers who were grazing their sheep on his land planted with olives. When he objected to that, they beat him and insulted him, so that the citizen Nazmi suffered a heart attack that caused his death on the spot on 25-05-2020.

At the time, the body was shown to the forensic doctors after his family accused the settlers of causing his death and harassing him physically, while the settlers who caused his death confirmed that the mercenaries of the "Ninth Division" were the ones who allowed them to graze the sheep in the olive groves belonging to the citizen Nazmi.
