And that's exactly what Saudi culture is.  How can we discuss the treatment of these activists without discussing the culture that is responsible for that treatment?

Discussing Saudi culture in the context of these imprisoned women IS on topic, it's EXACTLY on topic - to discuss one without the other would be incoherent.  Asking what the G20 can or should do about the treatment of these women is precisely the same as asking what the G20 can or should do to change Saudi culture.

Boru

It's not about changing Saudi culture; the G20 is in no position to enforce its laws on anybody -that would be a form of invasion-.

The G20 is simply asked to not shake hands with the Sauds or take money from them until they free these women, and stop terrorism as means of dealing with criticism.

The whole article in the op is focused on this single demand: if the G20 acts vigilant against the Sauds they can lead to a drastic change in how the country deals with human rights. But instead of acting vigilant; they allow the Sauds to join their meetings instead of boycotting their government and enforce strong economical sanctions against the kingdom.
