Dozens of Kurdish residents in the town have been arrested and interrogated following the killing of Ali Bahjat Hamid, a member of a Turkmen-dominated PMF brigade, last week, according to information obtained by Rudaw’s Hardi Mohammed on the ground.
Fuad Abdulwahid, a Kurdish resident of Prde, said the arrests were arbitrary.
"The situation is honestly very bad, and I hope it gets resolved. You cannot just arrest and detain people randomly. Even during Saddam’s time, it was not like this,” he told Rudaw.
Although most of the Kurdish residents arrested were released after interrogation, the fate of three young men serving in the Peshmerga remains unknown.
A local security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the three Peshmerga remain in detention “because of personal problems they had with the killed PMF member.”
