"International Student Movement"

Arrested - Tortured - Humiliated
Free Maxwell Dlamini (Swaziland National Union of Students)

President of the Swaziland National Union of Students, Maxwell Dlamini, has been detained, tortured, and forced by Swaziland’s regime to sign a confession that says he was in possession of explosives during the April 12 Swazi Uprising (swaziapril12zing.wordpress.com) - a movement inspired by similar uprisings in North Africa and The Middle East.

But he was not the only one. Besides him Musa Mgudeni, a fellow activist involved with the Swaziland Youth Congress (SWAYOCO).

Dlamini was voted in as president of the NUS in October 2010 and has since led campaigns against increased tuition fees, against proposed cuts to scholarship programmes, and in favour of compelling the Swazi government to honour its constitutional commitment to introduce free primary school education.
