Freedom House referred to the latest raid in Azerbaijan in an independent media outlet.
“Today’s crackdown on Azerbaijani broadcaster Toplum TV is the Aliyev regime’s latest unacceptable attack on critical, independent voices in the country. The 10+ employees reportedly detained today join the dozens of other media workers in Azerbaijan targeted for their reporting. We will continue to closely monitor the Aliyev regime’s campaign against civil society, activists, and independent media, and we urge democratic governments to hold the regime accountable for this wave of repression”, the organization posted on X.
