"That's why I am writing to you with a plea: Cancel your Dec. 5 performance in Saudi Arabia," Hatice Cengiz wrote Saturday. "This is a unique opportunity to send a powerful message to the world that your name and talent will not be used to restore the reputation of a regime that kills its critics."Bieber is ready to headline at Saudi Arabia's Formula One Race in December, joined by artists resembling ASAP Rocky, David Guetta and Jason Derulo in Jeddah's inaugural Grand Prix. Cengiz urged Bieber to keep in mind he's performing on an invite from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself."Nothing of significance happens in Saudi Arabia without his consent, and certainly not an event as important and flashy as this," Cengiz wrote. "Your face is even featured on the event's website with his — the executioner of my fiance, Jamal."
In 2018, a staff of the dominion's authorities brokers murdered the journalist on the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the place he was going to decide up paperwork for his upcoming marriage ceremony to Cengiz. A US intelligence report discovered that the crown prince authorised the operation, however the Saudi Foreign Ministry launched a press release saying it "completely rejects the negative, false and unacceptable assessment in the report pertaining to the Kingdom's leadership."
Cengiz just isn't the one one to criticize the F1 race.
"Sporting bodies like Formula One and the FIA cannot ignore the fact they and fans are being used for sportswashing," Minky Worden, the Human Rights Watch director overseeing sport, mentioned to The Guardian.
In 2019, Nicki Minaj pulled out of a concert in Saudi Arabia, saying she needs to clarify her help for the "rights of women, the LGBTQ community and freedom of expression." Justin Bieber has not but commented.
"If you refuse to be a pawn of MBS, your message will be loud and clear: I do not perform for dictators," Cengiz wrote. "I choose justice and freedom over money."
