KDP continues to conceal fate of journalist Suleiman

The Kurdistan Democratic Party authorities continue to conceal the place and fate of journalist Suleiman Muhammad Ahmed, after they kidnapped him 28 days ago, without any information being received from him, despite calls and appeals launched by media centers and bodies.

Journalist Suleiman, who works as an editor in the Arabic section at Roj News Agency, went 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 at the Fish Khabur crossing, the Kurdistan Democratic Party authorities kidnapped him, and contact with him was completely lost 28 days ago.

Dozens of local, regional and international media organizations, are calling on the Kurdistan Democratic authorities to release the editor of Roj News Agency, Suleiman Ahmed. Both CPJ and RSF, which are concerned with the rights of journalists at the global level, issued a call to drop the charges against journalist Suleiman and release him immediately. They also criticized the authorities in southern Kurdistan due to its continued violations of international laws protecting journalists.
