Arrest Swazi Prince for rape. Equality before the law: Justice for the Victim.
Arrest Swazi Prince for rape. Equality before the law: Justice for the Victim.
The Issue
Problem
A Prince and his friend are accused of allegedly kidnapping, drugging and raping a teenage University of Eswatini (UNESWA) student. She has reported the matter to the police and despite this neither the Prince nor his friend have been arrested. There are allegations that the Victim has recently been harassed and intimidated by the perpetrators. The Victim has also been offered an overseas scholarship if she drops the charges. Section 20 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Eswatini provides for equality before the all. The Prince like all other accused persons must be arrested, prosecuted and let the courts of law decide his fate. The law must not have eyes!
Solution
We want the Royal Eswatini Police to effect an arrest both the Prince and his friend and further give the people of Eswatini periodic updates on the matter.
