The man then walked to the journalist and began to insult and push him. Soon the police came, which delayed the reporter and delivered to the police station.
"Soon there appeared the man, saying that I insulted and beat him. At the same time, employees of the local municipality and the local Directorate for Refugees began to give false evidence against me.
The police opened a criminal case under article Beating. “I was caused to write an explanation, and they destroyed all the surveys and interviews in my camera,” said the reporter.
The journalist reported that they held more than 10 hours - until 23:30.
In turn, the duty of Barda Police Department told Turan IA that ‘no one offended the journalist. He was taken to the department legally, and released after giving written explanations.’ He refused to answer the question whether a criminal case was filed against the reporter.
