For nearly 10,000 USDs | Armed gang releases kidnapped girl to her family in Daraa

Daraa province: A gang has released the girl after they kidnapped her in Al-Sanmin city in Daraa countryside when she was on her way to the school, after negotiations with the family of the girl and agreeing to decrease the ransoms to 50,000,000 Syrian Liras, which is equivalent to nearly 10,000 USDs, after they had demanded 15,000 USDs to release her. The girl was released after the gang received the money.

This comes in light of the ongoing security chaos in regime-held areas and the increase in cases of kidnaps to receive ransoms, amid failure of regime’s security services to stop the security chaos.

On January 9, unidentified persons kidnapped a 15-year-old girl on her way to her school in Al-Sanamayn city in Daraa countryside.
According to SOHR activists, the kidnappers contact the girl’s family and demanded a ransom of 15,000 USD for her release.
