BACKGROUND
Rasul Jafarov, the 2010 Fellow of the International Bridge of Justice, was unable to travel to Singapore for an International Bridge of Justice conference because the postal service lost his visa documents. Because Singapore does not have an embassy in Azerbaijan, Jafarov was required to submit his documents to the Singaporean embassy in Geneva, but the Azerpochtexpress Communications Office lost all of his documents.
