Men Deported to Eswatini to Be Held in Solitary for Undetermined Time
ESWATINI, JUL 18 – Five convicted criminals deported from the US are held in solitary confinement in Eswatini prisons amid concerns over human rights and regional security, officials said.
- Earlier this week, five men convicted of serious offenses were sent by the U.S. to Eswatini, where they are currently being kept in solitary confinement.
- The deportations followed the Trump administration's policy to send criminal migrants to third countries, including Eswatini, under pressured arrangements lacking public details.
- The five men, originally from countries including Vietnam, Jamaica, Cuba, Yemen, and Laos, are subject to planned repatriation efforts coordinated with a United Nations agency, though the schedule for their return remains uncertain.
- US Homeland Security described the deportees as "uniquely barbaric" whose home countries refused to accept them, while local and international NGOs denounced the legality and ethics of the transfer.
- Eswatini's acceptance of these deportees has sparked widespread criticism over security risks and sovereignty concerns amid the country's poverty and prison overcrowding.
