To mark the opening ceremony of the European Games in Baku, the Sport for Rights campaign has coordinated with human rights organisations across Europe to organise a series of protest actions today, calling for an end to the ongoing human rights crackdown in Azerbaijan and the release of the country’s jailed journalists and human rights defenders.
Actions will take place in Barcelona, Berlin, Geneva, London, Oslo, Prague, San Foca (Italy), Tbilisi, Warsaw, Zagreb, and a few other surprise locations. In addition, there will be a relevant roundtable discussion today in Istanbul, reads the Coalition press release.
