KDP authorities continue to kidnap journalist Suleiman for 114th day

 The authorities of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in southern Kurdistan continue to conceal the fate of the Kurdish journalist, Suleiman Ahmed, after they kidnapped him 114 days ago, without any information being received from him.

Journalist Suleiman Ahmed's lawyer, Nariman Ahmed Rashid, previously revealed to ANHA agency that the Dohuk Asayish prevented his lawyer from meeting with his client, and that his file is with the party's intelligence service, which kidnapped him nearly four months ago.

The lawyer confirmed that the charges against him are false and baseless because Suleiman officially entered Rojava and has official residency in southern Kurdistan.

His lawyers have not been able to meet with him yet.

On January 25, 2024, Roj News Agency held a press conference at the Metro Center in Sulaymaniyah, during which it confirmed: “The behavior of the Kurdistan Democratic Party is a dangerous indicator and political revenge, and the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the regional authorities bear responsibility for his safety.”

On January 29, 2024, the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria urgently called on the Kurdistan Democratic Party authorities to inform the family of journalist Suleiman Ahmed about his whereabouts, and to release him.

Journalist Suleiman, who works as an editor at Roj News Agency, went to visit his family in the city of Aleppo on October 1, 2023, after the death of his father, Muhammad Ahmed.

During his return from Syria at the Faysh Khabur crossing, he was kidnapped by the Kurdistan Democratic Party authorities and contact with him was completely lost 114 days ago.
