ROME, ITALY - FEBRUARY 13: Torchlight procession for Father Paolo Dall'Oglio, the Jesuit monk kidnapped in Raqqa, Syria in July 29, 2013, is held on February 13, 2019 in Rome, Italy. The march, held for Father Paolo Dall'Oglio and for all the thousands of Syrians and foreigners kidnapped or arbitrarily detained for years in Syria, was organized by family members and Friends of Father Dall'Oglio. An item of news revealed by the British newspaper The Times rekindled the hopes that Father Paolo Dall'Oglio, kidnapped in Syria by the so-called Islamic State, would be alive. According to senior Kurdish officials 3 hostages of the Islamic State, John Cantlie, Dall'Oglio and a New Zealand woman, are part of the militia negotiations to escape annihilation in one of the last pockets of territory still under their control.
