KDP detains journalist Suleiman for 275 days
Journalist and Roj News editor Suleiman Ahmed continues to be detained for 275 days, after the Dohuk court postponed his case for 29 July.
The KDP authorities continue to detain Suleiman Ahmed for the 275th day, following a postponement of his court hearing in Duhok, S. Kurdistan.
Suleiman Ahmed was abducted by KDP forces at the Fish Khabur border crossing on October 25, 2023, while returning to S. Kurdistan after visiting his family in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo on October 1.
His lawyers were only able to meet with him for the first time after 211 days of his abduction, which is considered a violation of the laws of S. Kurdistan and Iraq. According to Article 123, Section 23, of the 1971 Criminal Procedure Law, a detainee is entitled to meet with their lawyer within 24 hours.
After a court session was scheduled for June 30, the Duhok court decided to postpone the session to July 29.
