Behind the Propaganda
This Human Rights Watch video shows why the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) should speak out against Azerbaijan's appalling record on freedom of expression in the lead-up to the Eurovision Song Contest. The EBU declined to show the video at a workshop about media rights in Azerbaijan it organized on May 2, 2012, citing technical reasons. The EBU is an association of public broadcasters with a stated commitment to free expression. It oversees the Eurovision Song Contest.
