Journalist Suleiman tortured and placed in solitary confinement

Roj News Agency explained, based on information it obtained, that Suleiman Ahmed, from the beginning of his arrest, was placed in solitary confinement, and was tortured to confess to a charge that was detailed and fabricated by the Democratic Party for him, which Suleiman rejected and thwarted the KDP plan.

Journalist Suleiman Ahmed was kidnapped, on November 25, 2023, while returning from his father’s funeral, by masked individuals affiliated with the Kurdistan Democratic Party at the Fish Khabur crossing. He was transferred to an unknown place, and his place of detention was kept unknown for 5 months, until his presence was revealed in one of the Asayish prisons in Dohuk in southern Kurdistan.

The Kurdistan Democratic Party sought to fabricate a false charge against journalist Suleiman Ahmed, which is among the charges detailed and prepared by the Democratic Party against any political activist or journalist who does not work for it.

Immediately, Roj News Agency formed a team of lawyers to carry out legal procedures with the aim of releasing him, but the Kurdistan Democratic Party, since the kidnapping of Suleiman Ahmed, 201 days ago, has not allowed the team of lawyers to see and meet him.

According to the laws of the caretaker government of South Kurdistan and the Iraqi government, any detained person has the right to disclose his whereabouts and appoint a lawyer for him. If the accused cannot appoint a lawyer, a lawyer will be appointed for him by the government, but the Kurdistan Democratic Party violated all the laws followed in southern Kurdistan and Iraq as well.
