Baku/23.06.22/Turan: On June 22, three independent journalists in Azerbaijan were expelled from the village of Soyudlu in the Gadabay region, where they were preparing a report on the dissatisfaction of local residents with the environmental impact of a nearby gold mine.
In particular, freelance journalist Elsever Muradzade, an employee of the online publication AbzasMedia Nargiz Absalamova and a reporter collaborating with the Azerbaijani service of the Voice of America, reporter Nigar Mubariz, were subjected to police pressure.
As Muradzade told Turan, at first in the morning the police did not let them into the village.
When they were able to get to Soyudla by alternative routes, they were detained.
“Nargiz and Nigar's phones were taken away and they were subjected to physical pressure. The police official said that only media with "permissions" could shoot. The police put us in a car and drove us out of the area,” Muradzadeh said.
Eshgin Gasimov, an employee of the Ganja regional group of the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, denied what journalists said to Turan
“What detention, what pressure… All this is nonsense,” he said.—06D-
