They make a quick mention of Turkey. Turkey probably perfected this technique - they've been abusing Interpol this way for years. Many people (e.g. Americans) who have openly criticized Turkey (blog post, Twitter, etc) have found themselves on the Interpol list and in trouble when traveling abroad.

Turkey is hilarious. It is run by a conservative Islam dictator but their tourism advertising portrays alcohol and women in bikinis.
