🇸🇿 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@hrwhrw.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.
