NNA - The families of the military hostages on Monday expressed fear regarding their sons who are kidnapped by Daash, after the social media videos that were released over weekend to show Roumieh inmates beaten and humiliated by the security forces.
After receiving menaces from Daash in this regard, the family of the hostage Mohammad Youssef resorted to block the road in Dahr Al Ahmar - Rashayya at 15:30.
The families burned tires and asked concerned officials to conduct serious negotiations with the kidnappers.
They also condemned the fresh story in Roumieh and called for general exemption in this regard.
