Amarasingam says Mohammad’s capture brings the number of Canadians held in Syria by Kurdish forces to four men, three women and seven young children. According to the Kurds, they are holding more than 2,000 men, women and children from 44 countries as prisoners captured in areas formerly held by ISIL. Approximately half of them are in Turkey, Syria or Iraq.
