Two political activists arrested at an election rally in
Swaziland have been tortured by police, according to the kingdom's Communist
Party. Mfanawenkhosi 'BOER' Mntshali and Derrick Nkambule, both members of the
banned political party, the People's United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO), were
at a rally to discuss boycotting Swaziland's forthcoming election. In a press
statement, the Communist Party of Swaziland said the two men were taken by a
special police squad to police headquarters in Mbabane, the kingdom's capital. The
statement said the police HQ had 'special interrogation chambers which are well
equipped for torturing suspects'.
