Murdered Journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s Fiancée Calls on Justin Bieber To Cancel Show in Saudi Arabia

The fiancée of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has called on pop star Justin Bieber to cancel a scheduled performance in Saudi Arabia, whose crown prince has been accused of involvement in Khashoggi’s murder. “Do not sing for the murderers of my beloved Jamal,” Hatice Cengiz wrote in an open letter to Bieber, who is one of a group of singers set to perform in Jeddah on December 5 during the Formula One Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The letter appeared in the Washington Post, where Khashoggi was a columnist. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman denies involvement in the murder, which took place three years ago in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, where Khashoggi went to pick up documents for his upcoming wedding. “This is a unique opportunity to send a powerful message to the world that your name and talent will not be used to restore the reputation of a regime that kills its critics,” Cengiz wrote. She reminded Bieber that the title of his new album, and his upcoming tour, is “Justice.” Cengiz’s request comes days after the Hamas terror organization called on Bieber to cancel a concert scheduled for Tel Aviv in October 2022, his third appearance in Israel and, so far, the only Middle East stop on the Justice tour’s itinerary.
