There were calls for Justin Bieber to cancel his performance at the Saudi F1 race.

They wanted him to cancel to protest Saudi Arabia’s crackdown on critics.

Human Rights activists also feel that concerts, which were unheard of a few years ago, are being done now as a distraction to divert and deflect from the country’s human rights record.

Justin performed Sunday night to a packed crowd.

Justin never commented on the public pressure to cancel his performance.
