The Turkish-backed mercenaries abducted the citizen Hussein Ahmed Abdullah, 38 years old, from the village of Meskeh Tahtani in Janders city, in Afrin occupied countryside, just one day after he sold his land for $10,000, according to the Afrin-Syria Human Rights Organization.

The organization stated that Abdullah was abducted from his home with the aim of blackmailing him financially, in continuation of the policy of frequent kidnappings and demanding ransoms from residents. Furthermore, he had previously been abducted several times, spent years in the mercenaries' prisons, and was released after paying a ransom.

Thus, the abduction of civilians in occupied Afrin continues, with or without charges, for the purpose of extorting money from their families.
