nation of Eswatini to give five men deported there by the United States access to lawyers and explain why they’ve been held in a maximum-security prison for two months without charges. Amnesty said it is raising the cases of the men from Jamaica, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam and Yemen, who in mid-July were sent to the southern African nation with a reputation for rights abuses, as part of the Trump administration’s third-country deportation programme. The US has said it also wants to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini. His wrongful deportation to his native El Salvador has become a flashpoint in the administration’s immigration crackdown. Lawyers for the five men sent to Eswatini said they are being held at the Matsapha Correctional Centre, a maximum-security prison. Eswatini authorities have declined to say where they are, citing security reasons. “The Eswatini authorities must officially disclose the five men’s whereabouts, immediately grant them regular and confidential access to their lawyers, and provide legal grounds for their detention,” Amnesty said.
