As of October 2, the concert announcement had been viewed more than 1.3 million times, with fans calling for the concert to be cancelled.
“Request for cancellation of the 3rd CIX concert <0 o 1> in Russia
Dear C9, we as FIX are writing to respectfully ask you to reconsider hosting or supporting any concert in Russia, in light of the ongoing war crimes and atrocities committed by the Russian government in Ukraine.
Given the impact of this war on innocent civilians and the widespread human rights violations, the continuation of such events in Russia can be seen as tacit support for the regime responsible for these actions.
Many organizations around the world have already taken steps to withdraw from engagements in Russia, in solidarity with Ukraine and its people.
By canceling the concert, your company would be sending a powerful message of support for peace, human rights and justice. I hope you will give this matter the serious consideration it deserves.Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Kind regards, FISSA#RussialsATerroristState
