Per statement released by Cumartesi İnsanları on 1st November 2014 and the book “Şehitler Şehri Silvan” (Silvan, City of Martyrs); at the time of his disappearance, Mehmet Zeki Akyıldız was a 16-year-old high schooler who was being pressured and threatened by the Hizbullah organization to join their ranks. Even though his family tried to save him by changing his school and home address, one day in 1992, he was taken from the street by two plainclothes men and was not seen or heard from since then. Out of fear, his family refrained from pressing charges.

He has not been heard from; nor have his bodily remains been discovered.
