Mariah Carey defies calls to cancel Saudi Arabia concert

US singer Mariah Carey performed in concert in Saudi Arabia Thursday night, despite calls from activists to cancel the show over allegations of human rights abuse.

Carey appeared in King Abdullah Economic City alongside Sean Paul and DJ Tiesto, defying those who had hoped she would cancel or call for the release of 11 women’s rights activists detained in Saudi Arabia since May 2018.
