A Swaziland editor and a rights lawyer who were arrested last month over an article said to be in contempt of court were freed on Sunday after a judge nullified their arrest.

Judge Mumcy Dlamini rejected a warrant of arrest for Bheki Makhubu, the editor of the Nation magazine, and lawyer Thulani Maseko, who is a columnist at the magazine, saying it was not in line with the law.


The inspector allegedly stopped a government vehicle driver who was driving a car without official documents.



The two were remanded in custody since their arrest.
