KDP authorities continue to conceal fate of journalist Suleiman 

Journalist Suleiman Ahmed's lawyer previously revealed to ANHA agency that the Dohuk Asayish prevented his lawyer from meeting with their client, and that his file is with the party's intelligence service.

Ahmed’s lawyer confirmed that the charges against him are false and baseless because Suleiman officially entered Rojava and has official residency in southern Kurdistan, and he had no legal problems until he was kidnapped.

The lawyer revealed: “The Asayish visited Dohuk several times, but they did not allow us to meet him.”

Suleiman's mother appeals to the Autonomous Administration

In an interview with ANHA agency, the mother of journalist Suleiman Ahmed, Sultana Ahmed, appealed to the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria to intervene in his file, as he is a citizen of North and East Syria.

The Mother Sultana noted that the members of KDP have been preventing her from communicating with her son for more than two months.

Sultana Ahmed confirmed that her son had been carrying out his journalistic duties and work for more than 5 years in the city of Sulaymaniyah and she demanded his immediate release in order to achieve justice.

What actions does Roj News intend to take?

In a written statement from Roj News Agency in response to ANHA agency’s questions, the agency confirmed that they will continue working on Suleiman Ahmed’s file to release him, by using the Iraqi constitution and following the systems of laws that exist in southern Kurdistan, despite the authority’s evasion and non-recognition of the laws.

It confirmed that they are working to "prepare a complete file regarding the actions of KDP towards the press and journalists and violations of the laws and the constitution, in addition to placing the case of Suleiman Ahmed at the forefront of the file."

 Worth to note that journalist Suleiman, who works as an editor in the Arabic section at Roj News Agency had gone to visit his family in the city of Aleppo on October 1, after the death of his father, Muhammad Ahmed. During his return from Syria, KDP kidnapped him at the Faysh Khabur crossing.
