The “Caucasian Knot” has reported that colleagues of Abdulmumin Gadjiev regularly hold pickets in support of him. During their protest actions, they also demand to stop the persecution of journalists and release political prisoners. On July 25, solo pickets were held by Magomed Magomedov, the deputy editor-in-chief of the “Chernovik”, and Magdy Kamalov, a founder of the “Chernovik”. Passers-by and car drivers expressed their support for the picketers, and the police did not interfere, the picketers said.
