NEWS CENTER - There has been no news from Rojnews News Agency editor Süleyman Ahmet for 77 days. The KDP administration continues their silence despite the applications and calls regarding Ahmet, who is held by the security forces on October 25.

 
There has been no trace of Rojnews News Agency's Arabic editor Süleyman Ahmet for exactly 77 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.
 
His 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.
 
Although lawyers who are members of the Süleyman Ahmet Defense Group have made more than 10 applications to date, no information about Ahmet has been shared.
 
KDP ADMINISTRATION IS SILENT
 
No statement has been received about Ahmet from the KDP administration, to which professional journalism organizations and non-governmental organizations have called.
 
APPLICATION WAS 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 United Nations (UN).
 
'I WANT TO HEAR HIS VOICE'
 
 While all the attempts made by his lawyers so far have been resultless, the calls made by journalists in the region regarding Ahmet were also left unanswered. His mother, Sûltane Ahmet, who could not receive any news from her son Süleyman Ahmet, stated that she longed to hear her son's voice.
 
Noting that despite all their attempts, the KDP public order did not give her any information, the mother said: “I want to get news from my son. All I want is to hear my son's voice as soon as possible. Why did KDP take my son into custody, why don't they give me information? Why don't they say, ‘Your son is in our hands?’ Why are you doing this torture? What does it mean if they don't give me any information about my son's life?  For what reason did you detain my son?" 
 
Stating that she could not hear anyone's voice even though she lamented all the time, mother Sûltane Ahmet said: “My heart hurts. My son didn't steal or kill anyone. His work is clear. My son is Kurd, a journalist and a son of this land. I want to know the situation of my son.”
