Hamo and Aqeel were both kidnapped by ISIS in the Jazira region in northeast Syria on December 15, 2014, at 11 a.m.
Despite multiple calls for his release by Rudaw Media Network and other outlets, his fate remains unknown. Neither his family nor colleagues have new information on his whereabouts.
They were kidnapped at the Heso-Ratla junction on the main road between Qamishlo and the town of Til Kochar in northern Syria, or Rojava.
After being kidnapped for nearly 10 months, ISIS and the self-governing body in Rojava negotiated for Aqeel to be freed on September 21, 2015, in the town of Holi, south of Hasaka.
Hamo, 29, was born in Hasaka governorate.
Rudaw Media Network continues to call for the release of journalist Farhad Hamo.
Syria is one of the most dangerous countries for journalists in the world. Since 1992, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has documented the killings of 128 journalists and media workers.
