To forcibly push them into its ranks… SDF militia kidnaps young men in Raqqa

The separatist “Qasad” militia kidnapped a number of young men after stopping a public transport vehicle at a checkpoint near the village of al-Akershi in the southeastern countryside of Raqqa.

Local sources said that a checkpoint of Qasad militiamen stopped a public transport vehicle at the village of al-Akershi, to the southeast of al-Raqqa city, kidnapped a number of young men using the vehicle and drove them by force to the militia’s camps in order to push them later into Qasad ranks.

The Qasd militia set up barriers between city neighborhoods, at the entrances to villages and towns, and on public roads between Hasaka, Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa, and kidnapped civilians, mostly young men, and forcibly took them to their camps to work in their ranks in order to serve the agendas of the American occupier and the militia’s separatist trend.
