The
Deputy General Secretary (DGS) of the Communist Party of Swaziland
(CPS), comrade Musa Dube will be appearing in High Court chambers
today, 11th October 2013, at 0900 am.
he will be appearing
for bail hearing after dreadful 26 days in solitary confinement since
his illegal arrest in 14th September 2013.
Comrade Musa Dube was charged with the unpopular sedition charge,a crime he had committed
by mobilizing against mswati's sham 2013 elections, of which the CPS
anti-elections pamphlet formed the bases of his charge.
He
shall appear before judge Mumcy Dlamini who is wife to Majahenkhaba
Dlamini the Attorney General (AG), a descendent of the ruling family.
Since his arrest, over more than ten people have been charged with
sedition on different circumstances but all related with the struggle
against the Mswati autocracy:
- Allen Nkululeko Magongo a farmer from Vuvulane
- 8 young people from Kontshingila for protesting against a mswati imposed chief
- brutal assault of protesters at Gege against a vetted MP whom the view won fraudulently.
We demand his unconditional release and call for a Step up action
against the criminalization of dissenting views by the Mswati Regime
