Madeleine Matar: Let's help #Fawaz_Qutayfan.. and I'm ready
Today, Sunday, the Lebanese actress, Madeleine Matar, said that she is against meeting the demands of the kidnappers of the Syrian child Fawaz Qetaifan, but she is afraid that they will abuse him more.
Matar added, through her account on Facebook, that the parents of the child Fawaz will not be able to pay the ransom amount, and that she is ready to create a donation campaign to help the child Fawaz.
Matar wrote, "With a complete absence of justice, I am against meeting the kidnappers' needs, but it is very likely that the boy will work for him more than this! And certainly the parents are not able to pay such an amount and their son's health is collapsing in front of everyone. I am with the establishment of a donation campaign and let us help #Fawaz_Qetaifan. For all the suggestions and possibilities, and let's start."
The case of Fawaz, who is from the village of Ibtaa in the countryside of Daraa governorate, became known after his kidnappers published a video of him being tortured and beaten in order to force his relatives to pay a large ransom in exchange for his return to them, according to what appeared in the circulating videos.
Activists circulated the hashtag "Save the Child Fawaz Al-Qatifan" in several Arab countries, in order to work for his release and rescue.
The case of the kidnapped Syrian child is more than 3 months old, but the spread of the latest video showing his torture at the hands of his kidnappers, coinciding with the case of the Moroccan child stuck in a deep well, which attracted the attention of the world, aroused public opinion and social networking sites again, amid persistent calls to save him and demand protection Children wherever they are and the perpetrators are held accountable.
Syrians circulated on social media, pictures of the kidnapped child, Fawaz Qetaifan, and the video circulated in which the child appears half-naked while being flogged, and he has no choice but to beg his kidnappers with the phrase "For God's sake, do not hit me."
The video was published by the unknown kidnappers, about 3 months after the kidnapping of the child, in order to force his family to pay a very large ransom, amounting to 500 million Syrian pounds, equivalent to about 143,000 dollars.
