The Supreme Court in the African kingdom of Eswatini has ruled that four men sent there by the United States last July under the Trump administration's third-country deportation program can finally meet with a lawyer after they were denied in-person legal counsel for nine months while held at a maximum-security prison.
A lower court had previously ruled that local lawyer Sibusiso Nhlabatsi, who is working on behalf of the men's U.S.-based lawyers, could meet with them, but the Eswatini government immediately appealed that decision.
