A local source in Afrin reported that the so-called Military Police, Muhamed El-Fatih and Al-Muntasir Billah mercenary groups have abducted two young women from the Bedîna village in Rajo district.

The two abducted women were named as Hêvîn Abdîn Xerîbo (20) and Lîna Zekeriya Îbiş (22).

The mercenaries released Hêvîn Abdîn after having received a ransom of $2,000.

It is further reported that the mercenaries attempted to kidnap Lîna Ibiş during a raid to the village of Mamilayê. The young woman escaped from the mercenaries who opened fire, yet she was later abducted in the village of Bedîna.
