Sting was paid a reported £2million by Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of the President of Uzbekistan to play a concert last October in Uzbekistan a country where political opponents are boiled alive and protestors to the regime are slaughtered in the streets. This was clearly to help clean up their image. Sting (and Ronaldo) went despite being warned by a leading campaign group, Global Witness, before the concert that his playing there was innaproriate. He still went and took the money. Small problem is that Gulnara is the daughter of a corrupt tyrant who boils his political opponents alive and suppresses his population - nearly as nice as Saddam. His security police murdered hundreds in a massacre in 2005. http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2005/06/06/uzbekistan-new-report-documents-massacre. Lets make Sting donate the blood money to the victims of Uzbekistans murdering regime. Give it back

Sting thinks he can just pocket money from a regime that boils people alive and go back to his comfortable life like nothing happened. We are keeping the heat on him until he acknowledges that this blood money belongs in the hands of the victims he ignored.

The momentum behind this is undeniable and it proves that people are disgusted by Sting taking a paycheck from a regime that boils its own citizens. He cannot hide behind silence while the victims of this tyranny continue to suffer. We are making it impossible for him to ignore this blood money.

Sting should be ashamed of himself. Taking money from a dictator like that is just low. Donate it to the people who really need it.
