Family members of a group of arrested believers tried to hold a protest rally in front of the Milli Majlis building today. However, the police stopped the action, put them in paddy wagons and took them away from the territory where the parliament is located. Fatima Movlamly, an employee of the "Toplum TV", received bodily injuries while preparing a report from the scene of the action. "During the coverage of the action, the police car ran over my leg. My camera is also damaged. I believe that the police officer deliberately did this, my leg swelled up. I use a wheelchair. I underwent an X-ray examination at the traumatology hospital. However, the hospital does not give me the results of the examination and the diagnosis. Now I am going to a private clinic for examination," Movlamly said.
