The purpose of the search was announced on social networks by channel journalist Lilya Budzhurova.
“On the territory of the TV channel (ATR) there are several dozen security forces, including many machine gunners in riot police uniforms.
No one is allowed in or out of the building. The purpose of the “visit” is to remove all information about last year’s (February 26) rally outside the walls of the Crimean parliament. Our server is being seized. Every office was searched. The control room and studio are still working, so keep an eye on the broadcasts. As long as possible, we will report on what is happening here,” the TV presenter wrote.
Meanwhile, a little later, in the Zaman news release, Budzhurova voiced fears that “the only Crimean Tatar channel will be closed.”
“How do these actions relate to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on deported peoples, including the Crimean Tatars? Having canceled the rally on May 18, she (the local authorities - PolitNavigator) forbade the Crimean Tatars to cry. Now she wants to prohibit them from seeing, hearing and speaking,” the journalist said.
Let us remind you that during the clashes on February 26, two Russian residents of Simferopol were killed - Valentina Korneva and Igor Postny.
