"The Senators correctly observed that King Mswati's Tinkhundla regime has for a long time, consistently and with impunity, violated Human Rights without being held accountable.
When the Swazi people began challenging this, their efforts were met with disproportionate repression which culminated in the cold-blooded assassination of well-known Human Rights lawyer Thulani Maseko.
Despite this political turmoil,the King’s responded by hiring mercenaries to increase the repression on dissidents.This is clearly not a solution,” reads the statement in part.
