 Eswatini repatriates Cambodian expelled from U.S

Since the middle of last year, Eswatini has received and detained 15 men deported by Washington, under an agreement in which it commits to eventually take in 160 people deemed undesirable by US President Donald Trump's administration in exchange for $5.1 million.


The Cambodian is the second of the 15 men to be repatriated to his country, after a Jamaican in 2025.

Human rights campaigners say the US expulsions breached international law and should be rejected.


Lawyers in Eswatini have repeatedly warned that they have been systematically denied access to people expelled by the United States and that these individuals were detained without any charges.
