At about 6 p.m., the police completed a search in the office of the editorial office of the online publication Toplum TV and sealed it.
Approaches to the building were blocked by the police, so colleagues did not notice whether the police took the editorial staff with them?
Judging by the fact that several people from the Toplum TV editorial did not left the office and are not answering calls, they have been detained.
It is unknown where they were taken and the reason for their detention. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not comment on reports on that.
“There is no reasonable explanation for what is happening. It seems that they want to completely eliminate independent media in the country so that there are no platforms left for critical opinions,” said Toplum TV editor-in-chief Khadija Ismail.
“We are not involved in a crime and have not committed any illegal actions. Therefore, there are no legal explanations for what is happening,” she said and added that she could not get any official information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and obtain a search protocol.
She is also trying to clarify the fate of her employees who were in the editorial office when the police arrived. It is impossible to reach them by phone.
