Description
Amnesty International condemns the Premier League's owners' and directors' test as unfit for purpose as a Saudi-led consortium closes in on a deal to buy struggling Newcastle United. The human rights group has lobbied English football chiefs for more than a year to reject the proposed takeover, branding it as part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to "sportswash" its human rights record.
