Amnesty International once again warned violation of human rights by the Saudi leaders, including Mohammad Bin Salman, saying that G20 members should pressure him to cease breach of human rights inside and outside the country.

"At a time when international leaders are attending the G20 Summit in Argentina, they should not bestow MBS absolute power to violate human rights in Saudi Arabia and Yemen," the international body tweeted on Friday.

After Bin Salman assumed office as defense minister in 2015, he established a coalition namely ‘Arab Coalition’ for warmongering against Yemenis.

According to the human rights organizations, Saudi-led coalition has so far killed over 8,000 civilians, displaced millions, destroyed over 80 percent of Yemen infrastructure and currently, 22.5 million out of the total 29-million Yemenis are in dire need of urgent humanitarian aid.

Amnesty International has called on G20 members to pressure MBS to stop repeated violation of human rights both inside and outside the country.

The human rights institute also in a report on the situation human rights activists in Saudi Arabia last week that Saudi interrogators have tormented at least three detained women activists, as one of them has acted to commit suicide three times due to severe tortures.
