A statement from the Local Coordination Committee in Syrian (LCC) regarding the kidnapping cases happened recently
The recent weeks witnessed several kidnaps cases in different Syrian cities, the disaster city. The available news suggests that the reasons behind most of the kidnaps cases are for revenge, for ransom or to free some detainees or other kidnapped people.
In several cases the results of the kidnaping operations was tragic on the kidnapped people and their families, in addition to the anxiety and panic environment it’s generating.
There is no excuse to such behaviour and it leads to calamity results on all parties as it starts a series of kidnapping and anti-kidnapping, thus sectarian cracks and tendencies of violence and revenge.
The Local Coordination Committee in Syrian (LCC) is strongly condemning all kind of kidnapping of any civilian whoever is doing it. LCC is holding the regime the main responsibility for the safety of all kidnapped people whoever their kidnappers are, and sees that condemning such behaviour from all parties would help cordoning it at this stage.
We are calling the families and the relatives of the kidnapped people not to be drown by revenge reactions which would cost them and their families and the whole community huge hazards.
We are also calling all the Committees, the field activists, the dignitaries of the regions and the clergies to interfere in these situations in order to protect the kidnapped people and guarantee their safety and that they will be back to their relatives. We also call everyone not to cover who any kidnapper whoever he is and what his excuse is..
