The stars of American Entertainment claim they are all about human rights, yet they hang out with the most blood-thirsty dictators of the world.
It is bad enough we see the likes of Sean Penn hanging out with Hugo Chavez, but now Sting is holding secret concerts for one of the worst violators of human rights out there, Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan.
From Fox News: "Last November, Sting gave what groups who monitor the Uzbek dictatorship called a “secret” and “private” concert at the behest of Karimov's daughter, Gulnara, who human rights groups say is deeply involved in siphoning off the money from the country’ natural resource sales into family coffers. She is particularly vilified for using forced child labor in the impoverished country’s vast cotton fields. Tickets to the concert were priced at between $1000 and $2000 — about 45 times the average annual salary in Uzibekistan."
And remember, this is the Amnesty International guy - so much for him caring for human rights.
Sting, like the rest of the liberals in the entertainment industry, is just another hypocrite.
