🇸🇿 A thread on the Eswatini crisis: 1/22 The 🇸🇿 Gvt should ensure accountability for their security forces’ crackdown on protesters since June 2021 @PhiwaNk @Swazijforum @Sophie_Mokoena @Newzroom405 @SABCNews @SADC_News @DIRCO_ZA @eNCA @POWER987News @hrw hrw.org/news/2021/11/0… 
2/22 Despite concerns, by the UN Rights Office, that Eswatini security forces used live ammunition & engaged in “disproportionate & unnecessary use of force,” as far as @hrw has been able to determine, no member of the security forces has been held accountable.
3/22 A report by the Eswatini Commission on Human Rights says that at least 46 people died during the June protests; 245 people had gunshot injuries; 22 people multiple gunshot injuries; & 118 people had unspecified injuries.

On Sunday 4 July 2021, two New Frame journalists, Magnificent Mndebele and Cebelihle Mbuyisa, who were on assignment in eSwatini were detained, assaulted and tortured by security forces.
They were in eSwatini to report on the pro-democracy protests with a specific focus on the state murder of citizens. While in the country, they were stopped at roadblocks on a number of occasions, threatened and forced to delete material from their phones and camera.
