- from Press Release: – ‘Free Maxwell Dlamini Campaign press statement on the release on bail of Swazi student leader Maxwell Dlamini’, Feb 4, 2012 -
“We are delighted that Maxwell Dlamini has been released by Swaziland’s High Court even though judge Bheki Maphalala had set bail at a colossal 50,000 rand (€5000).
We have spoken to Maxwell on the phone yesterday [Friday 3. February], and he says that he is well and in good spirits. We told him that we will not rest until we have ensured his full and unconditional release, as well of the release of his co-accused, Musa Ngubeni.
We also demand that the alleged torture of Maxwell and Musa by Swaziland’s police forces and/or armed forces be investigated, and any perpetrators be brought to justice. And we support Swaziland’s democratic movement in their demands for democracy and socio-economic justice for the people in Swaziland, who suffer daily under a repressive, undemocratic and kleptomaniac regime.
Ultimately, the only viable solution to cases like Maxwell’s and Musa’s is democracy and socio-economic justice for Swaziland. ”

Peter Kenworthy, Campaign Coordinator, Free Maxwell Dlamini Campaign
