On Sunday, March 8, the General Security forces of the Syrian Interim Government abducted Khalil Nabo Nassero, a 70-year-old Kurdish man from the village of Shadera in the Jindires district of the Afrin countryside.

According to the Afrin Human Rights Organization, Nassero had demanded the evacuation of his son's house, which had been seized since the occupation of the area in 2018, and the return of some of the furniture and belongings inside. This led to a dispute with a member of the General Security forces named Salah, who accused Nassero of making threats. A General Security patrol then arrested him and took him to their headquarters in Afrin city. The case was later referred to the judiciary, and he was subsequently transferred to Ma'arata Central Prison.
