Description of the missing person
Mansour was tall and thin. He was a peaceful man who was loved by everyone. He had one daughter and he had been married for a year and a half before he disappeared. He was a social person who loved joking with his neighbors, whom he frequently visited. They loved him, and whenever he didn’t go visit them they would come to him instead.
Circumstances of the Disappearance
Mansour was making breakfast at the house and then left to get milk. Upon his return, there was a checkpoint, where he was held up and asked about his nationality and residence. Ibrahim, Mansour’s brother, went to the bottom of the building to find out why these people were holding him, but these men ascended the building and grabbed Mansour’s other brothers, Ahmed and Aziz, and put them in trucks with Ibrahim and Mansour. They were held in the trucks from eight in the morning until 3:25 PM. Then they were placed in two trucks full of men and children that were surrounded by tanks. They headed on the road to the Kuwaiti embassy and the old airport. People at the airport square saw them as they were placing their hands on their heads.
