Lawyer Says He's Not Been Allowed to See 5 Immigrants Deported by the US to a Prison in Eswatini

ESWATINI, AUG 1 – The lawyer challenges the secretive detention of five deportees from the US, held without legal access in Eswatini’s maximum-security prison under a Trump-era program.

  • Five immigrants were deported by the United States to Eswatini after completing their criminal sentences, as stated by lawyer Sibusiso Nhlabatsi.
  • Nhlabatsi reported that he was denied access to the men's legal representation, which he described as unlawful.
  • The Eswatini government stated the men would remain in solitary confinement until they can be deported home, which may take up to a year.
  • Activists have called for details of the deportation agreement with the U.S. to be made public, but the Eswatini government has said they are classified.
