Azerbaijan: Side event at HRC29: Azerbaijan: the repressive side of the European Olympic Games

Event at the 29th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council Commencing on 12 June, Azerbaijan will host the inaugural European Olympic Games. Our event at the Human Rights Council will shine light on the severe restrictions on fundamental freedoms and the imprisonment of civil society, which risks turning these European Olympics into a sad symbol of repression.

​When: Tuesday, 16 June 2015, 11:00 – 13:00

Where: Geneva (Switzerland), Palais des Nations, room XVII
