Controversies[edit]
Human rights[edit]

Amnesty International have been a vocal critic of the Baku 2015 European Games, stating in March 2015, "Azerbaijan may be a safe country for athletes taking part in the 100 metres, but defending rights and free speech is a dangerous game here. Those who champion them receive harassment and prison sentences instead of medals.".[49] In August 2014 the human rights organisation highlighted the 24 prisoners of conscience being held in Azerbaijan prisons as an example of abuses.[50]

Barring of journalists[edit]

In June 2015, The Guardian reported that its own reporters, along with those of other media outlets, had been barred from entering Baku to cover the games. Human Rights Watch, in the same article, stated it had observed “the worst crackdown the country has seen in the post-Soviet era”.[51]

​i guess not! this explains her "Where am I??" Instagram caption - she is in Azerbaijan!

[hmm 979]

​What's wrong with having a surprise performance of a great song?

​Amnesty int'l, the guardian and many other journalists have all been banned from entering Azerbaijan for the games due to their poor human rights record. These games (and their questionable and very dark selection process) are a vanity project for a corrupt dictatorship.
