flag Eswatini activists protest U.S. deportation of five migrants to a nation without consultation, citing due process violations and indefinite detention.

flag Eswatini activists protested at the US Embassy in South Africa, opposing a deal to receive five deported migrants from the US, claiming the agreement was made without government consultation and that the monarch benefits privately. flag The men, from Jamaica, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and Yemen, were sent to Eswatini in July and are held in a maximum-security prison without access to lawyers, despite having served their US sentences. flag Critics, including the Legal Aid Society and Amnesty International, allege the Trump administration’s third-country deportation program bypassed due process, sent individuals to nations with no ties, and resulted in indefinite detention. flag The US says the men were convicted of serious crimes and their home countries refused repatriation, though Jamaica denies refusing to accept its citizen. flag Activists urge Southern African nations to pressure Eswatini’s leadership and reject future deportation deals.
