Rafael Nadal file divorce against is wife

Posted on January 22, 2024

Rafael Nadal has been accused of joining Saudi Arabia’s “relentless sportswashing operation” by becoming an ambassador for the country’s tennis federation.

Amnesty International urged Nadal to speak out about the Gulf state’s poor human rights record after it was announced he had signed a deal with the Saudi Tennis Federation (STF).

His was the latest high-profile signing for the STF, which hosted its first ATP event last year – the Next Gen Finals in Jeddah – and is expected to add the WTA Finals at the end of this season.Peter Frankental, the economic affairs director of Amnesty International UK, said: “Rafa Nadal’s new role is just the latest chapter in Saudi Arabia’s relentless sportswashing operation.

“From tennis to football, golf and boxing, the Saudi authorities have spent billions in their efforts to rebrand the country as a sporting superpower and deflect attention from an appalling human rights record.

“Under the rule of Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi authorities have jailed dozens of peaceful activists, carried out record numbers of executions and brazenly covered up the grisly murder of Jamal Khashoggi.”

He added: “As with other sporting stars taking well-paid jobs in Saudi Arabia, we would urge Nadal to speak out about Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, offering an important message of solidarity with the country’s jailed human rights defenders
