HRF urges Katy Perry to cancel Abu Dhabi concert over UAE role in Sudan conflict

HRF Private letter to Katy Perry
Private letter to Katy Perry

Dear Katy Perry:

The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) respectfully urges you to cancel your post-race concert at the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 7, 2025, to protest the United Arab Emirate’s (UAE) role in fueling the mass atrocities and violence taking place during the conflict in Sudan and the world’s largest humanitarian catastrophe in the country. By canceling your performance, you can honor the hundreds of thousands of victims of the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and use your platform to amplify the Sudanese people’s call for peace and justice.
