Additional information:

In an interview with the YouTube channel Dope söz, the founder of the project ProTenge Jamilya Maricheva spoke about threats against her and her family. The presenters asked whether the persons involved in the investigations had threatened her. «I always answered no. But after the cyber-attacks on Instagram in December and the Telegram channel in January, the bullying from the Ministry of Information started. In January, I started receiving horrible messages from anonymous channels threatening me and my family. I saved them but did not publish them», — Maricheva replied. Jamilya does not link the threats to any particular material. She believes that the threats are related to the entire work of the project and are part of a campaign to limit what can and cannot be talked about. Jamilya Maricheva did not contact law enforcement agencies about the threats.
