All news on the topic: Toplum TV

A Baku court convicted journalists, media rights workers, and pro-democracy activists linked to Toplum TV on financial crimes charges, sentencing them to between 12 and 15 years in prison.

Press freedom organizations say the lengthy sentences demanded for Toplum TV journalists are designed to stifle independent media exposing high-level corruption.

Azerbaijani authorities have rearrested Toplum TV journalist Farid Ismayilov, accusing him of violating movement restrictions imposed following his March 2024 arrest during a sweeping crackdown on civil society.
