In particular, video editor Mushvig Jabbar, social media manager Elmir Abbasov, and correspondent Farid Ismailov were brought to criminal responsibility and detained. Nevertheless, “Toplum TV” will continue to operate, Khadija Ismail stressed.

Regardless of the will of the investigation, we will continue the activities of “Toplum TV.” We are currently working on a transition plan and intend to ensure the continuation of work, which is very important," she stressed. Resuming “Toplum TV's” operations actually means starting from scratch. "We will take legal steps to return the equipment and open an office," Ismail continued.
