HE WAS BEING THREATENED OVER DEBT
Mustafa Yüksekyayla, whose father was kidnapped, said, "My father was kidnapped on the 14th between 09:00 and 10:00 in the morning. He was kidnapped by masked people. We suspect a person named R.Ö. My brother Osman Yüksekyayla allegedly owed money to these people. Because of this, they were threatening my father. My father went and gave a statement and also filed a complaint with the prosecutor's office. My father had previously filed a criminal complaint, saying, 'If anything happens to me, they are responsible.' Is this place the middle of nowhere? They came in broad daylight and kidnapped the man. We cannot get any information about my father in any way. Our request from our state authorities is that they find my father safe and sound," he said.
NO NEWS FOR THREE DAYS
Feride Yüksekyayla, whose brother was kidnapped, wanted her brother to be found. Unable to hold back her tears, Yüksekyayla said, "For God's sake, find my brother. We have had no news for three days. We do not know whether he is dead or alive, hungry or full, or how he is. For God's sake, help us."
