Tapdyg Farhadoglu was detained on September 23 in the morning while covering a protest rally by a group of women in front of the Serious Crimes Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General's Office.
He was taken to the Railway Transport Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All the equipment and electronic memory cards were taken from him, and he was deprived of the opportunity to report the detention to his colleagues and a lawyer. Half an hour later, the journalist was released after returning the equipment and memory cards, but was warned that he "should no longer take actions against statehood." -16D06--
