The Kurdistan Democratic Party is still insisting on concealing the place of the editor of Roj News Agency, Suleiman Ahmed, after he was kidnapped from the Fish Khabur crossing during his return to the city of Sulaymaniya, and no information has been received about him yet, despite local and international media appeals.

Journalist Suleiman Ahmed went to visit his family in the city of Aleppo on October 1, after the death of his father, Muhammad Ahmed, at the age of 66 years. The Kurdistan Democratic Party kidnapped him during his return from Syria at the Fish Khabur crossing, causing to lose contact with him completely 16 days ago.

Dozens of local, regional and international media organizations also called for the release of 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 decision to drop the charges against journalist Suleiman and release him immediately. And also criticized the authorities of southern Kurdistan for their violations of International laws protecting journalists.
