CRISTIANO Ronaldo has been urged to call out human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, where he has landed a deal worth €190milion a year.
Campaigners say the ex-Manchester United star has a moral duty to be a "voice for good" as the oil-rich nation faces international questions over executions, torture, and persecution.
The calls were led by Lina AlHathloul, whose sister Loujain was jailed and tortured after protesting against a ban on women drivers.
Loujain was locked up in 2018 and served 1,001 days behind bars. Lina told the Sunday Mirror: "Ronaldo may think he doesn't have anything to do with politics, but he is part of the PR machine.
"He has to use his voice for good. He can use his platform. Call for the release of prisoners, call for an end to male guardianship, end the execution of minors.
