Just two days after the European Games closed in Azerbaijan, four journalists say they were barred from leaving the country and told they were placed on a government "blacklist."
The four reporters for OCCRP partner organization Meydan TV – Ayten Alakbarova, Şirin Tire Abbasov, Natiq Cavadli and Elnur Muxtar – were stopped at the border while travelling to the Republic of Georgia.
Officials reportedly told the reporters that they had been placed on a government "blacklist" but gave no explanation as to why they were not allowed to leave.
No official comment has yet been made by Azerbaijani authorities regarding the incident at the border.
