Videos on the Situation in Swaziland

This collection of videos will help to inform more people on the current situation in the Kingdom of Swaziland and will hopefully encourage more people to express their solidarity with the democracy movement in the region as part of the "Global Day of Action to Free Maxwell Dlamini and All Political Prisoners".

A short film that describes the plight and democratization process in the kingdom of Swaziland, where political parties are illegal and anyone advocating democracy are treated as terrorists.

A documentary footage by special assignment of a South African television show exposing the lies by Swaziland's authorities that Swaziland has no political prisoners. Using hidden cameras the special assignment crew was able to sneak into the Swazi prison at Matsapha and interview some of the prisoned comrades. What's mind-boggling is the fact that for all of them they are still trying to find evidence to charge them. The footage is self explanatory.
