NEWS CENTER - Rojnews News Agency held the KDP management responsible for the life and security of their editor Süleyman Ahmet, who has not been heard from for 74 days.
There has been no news of Rojnews News Agency's Arabic editor Süleyman Ahmet for 74 days. While returning to Southern Kurdistan from the city of Aleppo, where he went to visit his family, on October 25, Ahmet was held by units affiliated with the KDP at the Pêşxabûr (Sêmalka) Border Gate and was never heard from again.
In the statement made 6 days later by the Duhok Public Order affiliated with the KDP, some claims were made that Ahmet is not a journalist.
Their lawyers applied to the Duhok Public Order Office to meet with Süleyman Ahmet, and received a response that the file was under the control of Parastin (KDP's intelligence agency), and they were prevented from meeting with their client on the grounds that the investigation was still ongoing.
Lawyers who are members of the Süleyman Ahmet Defense Group have not shared any information about Ahmet with the lawyers, although they have made more than 10 applications to date.
KDP ADMINISTRATION IS SILENT
There was no statement about Ahmet from the KDP administration, to which professional journalism organizations and non-governmental organizations made calls.
APPLIED TO THE UN
Rojnews officials, whose editors want the public to be informed as soon as possible about the situation of Süleyman Ahmet, also recently applied to the UN.
