The Sham Legion, affiliated with the Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), and military police recently kidnapped three civilians, including a 70-year-old man, in the northern Syrian city of Afrin.
The kidnapping came only days following a March 1 UN report entitled "A decade of arbitrary detention and imprisonment," which called for an end of kidnappings and crimes committed by armed groups in Syria, including the Islamic State and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
