Sixth consecutive day | Fate of kidnapped civilian from Daraa remains unknown

Daraa province: The fate of a kidnapped civilian from Daraa remains unknown, where he has been kidnapped by an unidentified gang for the sixth consecutive day.

According to reliable SOHR sources, unidentified gunmen kidnapped a civilian from Ghasm village in eastern Daraa countryside on the road between Al-Jiza and Kahil towns in eastern of Daraa, while he was heading to a bakery store in Saida town, where the fate of the young man and the identity of the gang remain unknown.

This comes in light of the ongoing security chaos in Daraa and regime-held areas.

About five months ago, unidentified persons kidnaped a young man from Daraa province. They contacted with his family several times demanding a ransom, last time was today when they asked for ten million SPs to release him, amid appeals by his family asking for help providing the sum as they do not have but their house which they offered for sale.

On February 24, SOHR reported that an unidentified gang driving a vehicle and four motorbikes intercepted a person, who owns a farm of for cows, and his grandchild and kidnapped them on the road between Al-Ghariya Al-Gharbiya and Al-Ghariya Al-Sharqiya towns, north eastern of Daraa, before fleeing to an unknown destination.
