One of these days,when a world numbed by #Saudi oil, $$ & Islamic holy sites,wakes up finally to that country’s gender apartheid all artists who perform there & provide a fig leaf for its tyranny will be shamed as did those who performed in apartheid South Africa.We will remember
We have to start a Wall of Shame - with names of artists & celebrities who happily accept #Saudi regime money in return for burnishing image of a Crown Prince who orders the murder, detention and torture of opponents. We will remember those who agree to overlook gender apartheid
There are big name celebrities who have been rumoured to be next for events in #Saudi Arabia. I have very little faith in any of them doing the right thing. Their publicists will undoubtedly come up with some media friendly statements washing their conscience clean.
“David Beckham has been warned by human rights campaigners against becoming a tool of propaganda for #Saudi Arabia after it was announced he’s to play exhibition match there...captaining a team vs a side led by ex-French World Cup winner, Zinedine Zidane” m.gulf-times.com/story/620890/B…
