Migrants deported from the United States to Eswatini are facing severe human rights violations, including prolonged solitary confinement, according to recent reports. The situation has sparked outrage among advocacy groups, who are calling for immediate intervention.
Alarming Conditions in Detention
Sources reveal that individuals sent back to Eswatini under US deportation policies are being subjected to inhumane treatment. Many are held in isolation for extended periods, with limited access to legal representation or medical care.
International Response
Human rights organisations have condemned the practice, urging both the US and Eswatini governments to address these violations. "Solitary confinement amounts to psychological torture," stated one activist familiar with the cases.
Background of US-Eswatini Deportation Agreement
The controversial arrangement between the two nations has come under increasing scrutiny. While details remain scarce, it appears the agreement lacks proper safeguards for deportees' rights.
- Average confinement duration: 23+ hours per day
- Reported cases of mental health deterioration
- Limited consular access for detainees
What Comes Next?
Legal experts suggest international pressure may force policy changes, but concrete action remains uncertain. Families of affected individuals continue to demand transparency and accountability from both governments.
