Story summary
  • Roberto Mosquera, 59, has been detained in Eswatini for over a year without charges or trial.
  • After his U.S. work permit was withdrawn, authorities seized him, moved him through detention centers, and flew him to Eswatini, a country he had never visited.
  • Attorney Alma David said Mosquera is going blind from untreated glaucoma, has no legal avenue to appeal, and is disappearing into a legal no-man's land with others.
