She indicated that among the victims were persons who criticized the practices of the Turkish-regime terrorist organizations, in addition to some rich people to get a ransom from them.

She pointed out to reports about taking some detained and kidnapped persons to Turkey, after they were arrested by Turkish regime – backed armed groups in Syria.
