If you can ever figure out why you insist that the ksa have a clean human rights record as a condition for belonging to a group that doesn't have a clean human rights record itself, you let us know.
It's not up to you to judge. If you have a problem, report the post.
Second of all, all the g20 countries are not even compared to KSA in terms of human rights ! the Sauds are cutting people in embassies and raping women in prisons without even trying to cover it !
Now you answer me, when did France or the UK have turned their embassies into a slaughter house ?
If you’re going to take one or two specific incidents, that’s rather a narrow view. To imply that France, the UK, and the rest of the G20 don’t routinely violate human rights and human rights agreements to which they are signatory simply because they don’t dismember journalists in consulates is to display a shocking unawareness of the state of things.
This isn’t some sort of contest in which countries with a slightly less graphic record of human rights abuses get to dictate terms to others. Saudi Arabia's record on this issue is nothing short of reprehensible, no argument. But your insistence that they shouldn’t have been let into the G20 because of this and then expecting the G20 to fix it is both ignorant and hypocritical.
This is the same sort of screwy thinking that allows people to imagine that going to celibate priests for marriage advice is a perfectly sensible idea.
