Swaziland police 'torture political activists'


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'.
