Amal Clooney: Why I took on imprisoned Azerbaijani journalist's case

Amal Clooney is one of a number of lawyers who's taking the case of an imprisoned Azerbaijani journalist to the European Court of Human Rights. In 2014, Khadija Ismayilova was sentenced to more than seven and a half years in prison, after being found guilty of embezzlement and tax evasion. But her supporters believe the sentence was revenge for reporting on alleged corruption involving members of President Aliyev's family and government officials. Newshour's Julian Marshall asked Amal Clooney why she'd taken up Ismayilova's case.
