Azerbaijan: Amnesty International Running Scared Eurovision action · Global Voices
Onnik Krikorian

Ahead of next month's Eurovision Song Contest in Azerbaijan, Amnesty International has posted a web feature using the spotlight on the international song contest to demand greater human rights protection and freedom of expression in the oil-rich former Soviet republic. In particular, the international human rights group is using the hashtag #freeaznow on Twitter and also calling on supporters to post messages on the Eurovision Song Contest and Azerbaijani President's Facebook page. There is also a Facebook page for the action itself.
