There has been no news from Rojnews' Arabic service Editor Süleyman Ahmet for 68 days. While Ahmet was returning to the Federated Kurdistan Region from the city of Aleppo, where he went to visit his family, on October 25, he was detained by units affiliated with the KDP at the Pêşxabûr (Sêmalka) Border Gate.

 

In the statement made 6 days later by the Duhok Public Order affiliated with KDP, allegations were made that Ahmet had nothing to do with journalism.

 

Nerîman Ehmed, one of Ahmet's lawyers, stated that the Duhok Public Order prevented them from meeting with their client on the grounds that the investigation was continuing and that the file was under the control of Parastin (KDP's intelligence agency).

 

Although lawyers who are members of the Süleyman Ahmet Defense Group have made more than 10 applications to date, KDP forces have not shared any information about Ahmet.
