He was detained and arrested in the street on November 2nd 2014. His mobile phone was taken away from him. When asking what the reasons why he was being detained were, he was answered that it was for the interests of the state. He was taken to the cells from the back door; there was no official record of him being detained: no paper mentioning the reason why or his personal data. He is asked for his working permit, although, being a journalist doesn’t require one. Although continuously claiming his right to make a phone call or questioning the reasons why he was imprisoned, he is ignored. He is finally let go without any charges.
