The kidnappings carried out by mercenaries of the Turkish occupation against Syrian civilians continue, targeting several fuel truck drivers and their companions over the past two days as they passed through the road connecting Deir Hafer and Aleppo.

Local human rights organizations recently published a verified list of names of some of the kidnapped individuals, including drivers from areas in the Afrin countryside, which is occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries.

The documented drivers include:

Abdul Rahman Nouri Hassan (46 years old) – from Basouta village in the Afrin countryside

Abdul Aziz Sheikh Mous Sheikho

Fadi Al-Hamidi Al-Khadr

Muhannad Hassan Al-Hassan

Hanan Nabih Aibo

Amer Zaki Asaad

Hassan Faisal Al-Shaheen

Muayad Hassan Al-Hassan

Hassan Mansour

Hussam Al-Saleh

Additionally, the names of several companions (assistants) were documented, including:

Zaki Amer Asaad

Sheikho Sheikh Mous Sheikho (12 years old)

Mahmoud Khalaf Al-Saleh

Bashar Khaled Sheikho (8 years old)

According to sources, two other individuals managed to escape, while no official statement has been issued by the "Transitional Government in Syria" or its affiliated security authorities regarding the circumstances of the kidnappings.

These incidents occur amid escalating security violations on public roads, particularly at the security checkpoint between Deir Hafer and Aleppo, where many civilians have recently faced harassment and arrests by checkpoint personnel.

Such practices raise growing concerns among residents and human rights organizations, given the ongoing lack of legal accountability mechanisms and the deliberate disregard for principles of transparency and human rights in areas occupied by Turkey and its mercenaries and controlled by the Transitional Government in Syria.
