On Human Rights Day, December 10, Human Rights Watch is launching the #SaudiRegrets campaign, which seeks to counter Saudi Arabia’s “image laundering” by educating actors, musicians, and athletes courted to play or perform in Saudi Arabia about the country’s rights record.
The #SaudiRegrets campaign also asks celebrity influencers to tell the Saudi government they won’t take its money and participate in events whose primary purpose is to deflect attention from human rights abuses – from the fact that the Saudi government continues to persecute Saudi human rights defenders and hold women’s activists in detention.
