*YCLSA Press Statement*
**** September 18, 2012 *YCLSA SHOCKED BY SENTENCED HANDED TO MBEDZI* **** The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] has learnt with a great deal of shock the ridiculous 85 years sentences handed down to Amos Mbedzi this morning in Mbabane, Swaziland. This further proves that the Swazi Monarch will go to the greatest lengths to ensure that they silence all lovers of democracy and those who would like to see a free and just Swaziland. The cases treason and terrorism are ridiculous but no more than the laughable one of murdering his own friends MJ Dlamini and Jack Govender. As the YCLSA we make a plea to the Swazi Monarch to reconsider this matter and also release all political prisoners including those out on bail. “We will continue to struggle for democracy in Swaziland including the return of all exiles, the unbanning of all political parties and the abolishing the draconian 1973 decree. “ Said YCLSA National Chairperson Yershen Pillay. We also endorse and join other progressives organizations on the campaign *“SAVE AMOS MBEDZE CAMPAIGN*” to be launched on the 27thSeptember, 2012, which will intensify our efforts in ensuring that the government of Swaziland is isolated until democracy is achieved in that part.
