Azerbaijan is a country flush with oil wealth, yet plagued by repeated reports of corruption, bribery and extortion. Journalist Khadija Ismayilova investigated allegations of graft and influence-trafficking - and wound up in jail. The 大象传媒's Damien McGuinness shares his experience of meeting her and analyses why she has been given a seven-year sentence for her reporting. Is it because she got too close to details of the business dealings of President Aliyev's own family?
