UEFA INCORPORATES HUMAN RIGHTS & ANTI-CORRUPTION CRITERIA INTO BIDDING REQUIREMENTS

http://www.transparency.org/news/pr..._anti_corruption_criteria_into_bidding_requir

I kinda thought that EUFA was already doing this, it was FIFA that is full of backhanders and brown envelopes.

 

it will be held in Turkey, cos its never been there before.
a security nightmare.

 

And it's dodgy (allegedly)

 

I've no idea what human rights are like in Turkey.
I've been once on holiday and found the people extremely friendly.

 

They have to friendly to tourists or the Police come cut their balls off.

 

hmm Turkey has bad human rights. muslim country and all that.. repression of women.
Germany will get it then.

 

No politics, ta.

 

nah let him be petty with me, Im a big boy

 

Do you have a job Patty coz you spend a lot of time on here.??

 

It's getting worse, after the attempted coup thousands were arrested or lost their jobs. Then the referendum which has made a dictator of Erdogan. Now looking to reintroduce the death penalty which will end any hope of joining the EU ( not that there was much chance before )

 

Largely true but their abuse of the Kurdish minority (actually about 20% of the population) is legend, and Erdogans attitudes towards women are well publicised and thoroughly mysogynistic.

 

Just look at his bangers and mash, tells you everything you need to know.

 

And journalists

 

Hen I saw the heading I thought it may be a dig at the Allams

 

Your post wasn't exactly accurate either.

 

Not if you're a Kurd. Or Armenian. Or Greek.

 

It really isn't lmao.

 

Turkey is a sham secular state and has been for quite some time; the only real change is the degree to which the state is being reshaped to oppress dissenters. Patty was far closer to the truth.
