Walid Yunis Ahmad was arrested on 6 February 2000 in Erbil, the capital city of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. He was subjected to an enforced disappearance for three years, before his family learned that he was alive. During this time he was tortured and went on hunger strike in protest against his detention. He is currently held in solitary confinement without charge or trial, at the Asayish building in Erbil. He is however said to be of good health and has been visited by his family.
