<p>We are concerned by the arrests of Mario Masuku and Maxwell Dlamini at a Workers'
Event in Swaziland on 1 May. They have been charged under the Sedition and Subversive
Activities and Suppression of Terrorism Acts and continue to be held in custody pending
trial proceedings. We are also concerned by the situation of Thulani Maseko, a lawyer,
and Bheki Makhubu, a journalist, who remain in custody in Swaziland following their
re-arrest on 9 April 2014. We encourage the Swazi Government to respect the rights
to freedom of expression and freedom of assembly in Swaziland, as set out in the Swazi
Constitution, and their international human rights obligations.</p>
