Justin Bieber is being accused by a human rights organization chaired by former chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov of becoming a “pawn” of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman if he performs in Saudi Arabia next month.
Bieber is set to perform on December 5 at the 2021 Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, a new street circuit in Jeddah near the coastline of the Red Sea, but Kasparov, in his role as chairman of the Human Rights Foundation co-authored a letter to the performer encouraging him to cancel due to the country’s abuse of women, gays and political dissenters.
