Four men deported by the US to Eswatini and denied in-person legal counsel for nine months while detained in a maximum security prison have the right to see a local lawyer, Eswatini’s supreme court ruled. Eswatini’s correctional services refused to let a local lawyer see the men, although they allowed them to make calls to their US lawyers, the lawyers said.
The government of Eswatini announced on Thursday it received four more “third country” deportees from the United States, as part of the Trump administration’s multimillion-dollar deal with the small African nation. A recent congressional investigation found that the Trump administration paid more than $32m to five foreign governments to accept a number of deportees. The Eswatini high court last month threw out a case filed by local human rights lawyers that challenged it, though an appeal has been lodged.
