At least 45 US lawmakers urge Washington to boycott next month's G20 summit in Riyadh unless Saudi authorities address key human rights concerns

Minister of Trade and Investment Majed Al-Kassabi attends a virtual Women 20 summit to discuss a more equitable future for women, amid rights groups criticism over female detainees, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, October 21, 2020.

The developments are a source of embarrassment for the kingdom, the current G20 president, as it gears up to host world leaders next month at what is widely seen as a crucial event for Saudi international diplomacy."As the world's leading democracy and purveyor of human rights, our government should demand dramatic changes to Saudi Arabia's dismal record of human rights violations," said the letter, seen by AFP.

The letter comes as Riyadh on Wednesday began a two-day Women 20 conference ahead of the G20 summit on November 21-22. "W20 attendees should refuse to play a role in Saudi Arabia's whitewashing efforts, use their platform to speak up for Saudi women's rights champions, and advocate for the end of all discrimination against women," it said on Tuesday.Trump signs $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia
