lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, we have massive political repression and a climate of fear in Swaziland: a fragile civil society urgently needs our support. Trade unions such as TUCOSWA are central to this movement, and they are watching the European Parliament today and so is the Swazi Government. With this resolution we are telling them that Europe is paying close attention to the human and labour rights situation and that the imprisonment and treatment of Thulani Maseko and Bheki Makhubu are intolerable. They must be freed at once and unconditionally. Our determination to help those who fight for progress in Swaziland can only be meaningful if it is matched with real action. In this resolution we call on the EU to use all political and economic levers available to us to protect human rights in Swaziland. Importantly, this must be taken up by the Commission and its representatives in Swaziland. Commissioner, the US has acted. Why haven’t we?"@en1
