• F1 accused of being complicit in sportswashing for the regime
• Reprieve group has written to world champion Lewis Hamilton

Human rights organisations have demanded Formula One act to mitigate human rights abuse in Saudi Arabia as the sport prepares to race there for the first time this weekend. F1 is accused of being complicit in sportswashing for the regime and has been presented with a large amount of criticism of the state, much of which appears to be in direct contradiction to F1’s commitment to equality and diversity.

On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch and the Reprieve group both wrote separately to F1 outlining their concerns. Amnesty International were unequivocal in their criticism and the Codepink group has sent a letter to world champion Lewis Hamilton, signed by 41 organisations, requesting he speak to Saudi leaders to highlight human rights issues.
