A group of men, including Kodar Faytrouni, was involved in the kidnapping of Younis in Australia on January 11, 2023. The incident was motivated by Faytrouni's belief that Younis married his sister for a visa. Video evidence presented in court showed Younis being restrained and assaulted. All four defendants have pleaded guilty to kidnapping charges. During sentencing, the judge criticized the act as misogynistic and highlighted Faytrouni's refusal to accept his sister's choice of partner. Court proceedings for some defendants have been postponed, with future appearances scheduled for December.
