The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (SADTU) has condemned the arrest, harassment, intimidation and reported abduction of Lot Vilakati, General Secretary of the Swaziland National Association of Teachers along with other Public Sector Union leaders in Eswatini.
The incident reportedly occurred while these leaders were peacefully delivering a petition to the Prime Minister’s Office.
SADTU says this is the act that falls squarely within their legitimate democratic and trade union rights.
The action represents a serious violation of the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association.
