As the crackdown on media outlets continue, offices of Amed-based Azadi TV, Jiyan TV and Zarok TV were raided by police forces and tax assessors and searched for three hours late Monday evening.

During the raid, employees were forcibly taken out of the offices which were later sealed and all the assets of TV channels were seized.

Jiyan TV was broadcasting in Kirmancki (Zazaca) dialect of Kurdish and Zarok TV was the first children's TV broadcasting in Kurdish.
