Justin Bieber is being urged by an international human rights organization to abandon his upcoming concert in Saudi Arabia.

The Human Rights Foundation says it sent a letter to the Canadian pop singer calling on him to cancel a planned appearance at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Dec. 5 “as a symbol of solidarity with the ongoing suffering of the Saudi people.”

The HRF outlined details of the Formula One event, which it says was authorized and financed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose family was implicated in the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

The letter also criticizes the regime’s treatment of dissidents, the jailing and torture of women’s rights activists and its executions of LGBTQ people.

Formula One lineup also features Tiesto, A$AP Rocky, Jason Derulo and David Guetta.
The Human Rights Foundation also sent letters to A$AP Rocky, David Guetta, Tiësto, Jason Derulo, and Mohamed Hamaki regarding their participation in the event.

In 2019, Nicki Minaj cancelled a headlining gig at the Jeddah World Fest in the region, saying it was a decision she made “after better educating myself on the issues.”
“I believe it is important for me to make clear my support for the rights of women, the LGBTQ community and freedom of expression,” she said in a statement to the Associated Press at the time.

This kind of hatred towards an individual is kind of ridiculous. I mean honestly what has Justin Bieber ever done that is so terrible?
