Reşîd Xelîl, his nine-year-old disabled son Muhammed and another civilian named Şerefedîn Seydo were abducted on 13 May in downtown Afrin by Turkish-backed jihadists.

Local sources in Afrin reported that the gangs had asked the families of the abductees to pay $ 100,000 ransom for their release, threatening to kill them in the contrary case.

Reşîd Hemîd Xelîl lived in the village of Bilêlê in the Jindires district and was the father of three children. He earned his life through the trade of auto parts.

The family of Şerefedîn Seydo has received a video after his kidnapping, asking them to sell the house for the ransom.

No information is available on the whereabouts of Seydo and Xelîl's nine-year-old son.
