With just days to go to the final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, Panorama has been undercover inside its hosts Azerbaijan, to discover the extraordinary truth about this secretive country and its approach to the world's most watched non-sporting event.

Reporter Paul Kenyon finds out how the contest has been used as a tool of intimidation: viewers have been interrogated for voting for the nation's long-term enemy, Armenia; a protest singer has been told to flee before Eurovision or he will be thrown in jail; and dozens have had their homes bulldozed to make way for the Eurovision event itself.

The US embassy in Baku has compared the ruling family to the Mafia. The regime has held onto power through a combination of rigged elections, jailing opponents, and by irregular control of the country's vast oil wealth. So, why did the organisers of the world's best well-loved music event agree to host it in Azerbaijan?

According to wikileaks Ilham Aliyev expressed his discontent with British Petroleum 3-4 years ago. Since then he has been targeted by western media as "dictator". Just reveals a big piece of juicy steak behind any talk about human rights. There are 1 million people in Azerbaijan who lost their homes during the war in 1993-94. After 20 years they have not been able to return to their villages and towns. Not BBC nor any other human rights group is bothered about their basic rights.

We all know that England NEVER played fair in the past with colonisation and today (BP, gold and diamonds, just to say some of the evil markets) continues with another power, American like SOFT POWER (advertisement, flags, gadgets, music etc.).

This is a documentary that shows other regimes, nobody makes a comparison, just says things that are somehow based on truth. Knowing Versus censorship.
