No one protected from Shabiha’s crimes, even close allies

Translation by Yusra Ahmed| From the leaked reports Zaman Alwasl obtained, the shocking and attention-drawing truth was that no one was protected from killing, abduction or blackmailing, even pro-regime people and informers working for it. Crimes even reach to Alawite people.

Close observers onto “Shabiha’s community” in Salamiyah City, consider Mosib Salameh as the difficult clue in that community, because he is involved in many killing, abduction and robbery crimes. He is surrounded by many people who are as criminal as him.

A report against “Mosib” showed that Ali Hamdan, one of Mosib’s helpers, killed 3 people including a woman, from Alawite majority village “Abo Hakfa” in Homs countryside according to Mosib’s orders, and the three bodies were burned.

However, the story of “Y.K” is literally shocking, as it gives an idea about the level of arrogance, criminal mentality and recklessness of Shabiha in people’s lives, even if they were from their religious group.

The story started when “Y.K” who is Alawite, was abducted by an “armed group” and they requested a ransom of S.P9 million to release him. Then it was agreed to give the money to a sheikh from nearby village to communicate with the abductors and exchange money with “Y.K”

Indeed, the deal was done with the armed group, however, unfortunately, Mosib’s men were watching the situation, then they took the Shiekh and “Y.K” as hostages in a car wash workshop, then to Mosib, who blackmailed Y.K’s parents and requested S.P5 million to release him.

Y.K’s parents provided the ransom, however he and the Sheikh and their accompany disappeared after taking the money. Ali Hamdan reported that the three hostages were killed,two of them were cut into pieces and thrown in sewage, while Y.K was buried days after taking the money.

Many evidence about abducting Y.K and keep him in “Khnifis village” in Salamiyah countryside, one of them confirmed that he saw Y.K in the workshop, however he was threatened of killing his only child in he said a word. Even the workshop’s owner receive similar threat.

“H.K” a brother of the abducted and murdered victim confirmed that Mosib and his men were responsible for abducting and killing his brother, and reported that he was abducted as well when he was in a petrol station and taken to a farm near Salamiyah, where he was severely tortured and his money and mobile phone were robbed.

H.K said that a man in the petrol station recognized one of his abductors, which forced them to release his to avoid disclosing the incident. H.K reported that he was threatened by Mosib’s men to keep silent and not to talk about the incidence, as the Air forces security branch is involved in abducting “Y.K” as well.
