| Subject: Dear Mariah Carey and other celebrities: Stop going to Saudi Arabia Sat Feb 02, 2019 6:23 pm | |
| Four months after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, the Saudi regime is trying its hardest to pretend nothing ever happened.
Instead of allowing investigators to properly look into the murder and other human rights abuses, the regime has a better plan: Bring in American celebrities!
Saudi Arabia announced this week that the country would "usher in a Year of Entertainment in 2019." The announcement said that the head of the General Entertainment Authority, Prince Turki al-Sheikh, wants to make Saudi Arabia "a top 10 destination for entertainment."
The news release claims Western brands and celebrities are currently in negotiations to go to Saudi Arabia. The release said the entertainment authority "is negotiating long-term contracts with more than 100 local and international partners, with plans to bring musicians including Jay-Z, DJ Khaled, along with international comedians Trevor Noah, Chris Rock, Seth Rogen and Gabriel Iglesias, among others to the kingdom."
