Swaziland�s attorney general has been charged with sedition after ordering the dismissal of three judges hearing a case about a girl allegedly abducted to marry the king. The director of public prosecutions said the action by Phesheya Dlamini had caused the Swazi Government to be viewed with contempt at home and abroad. The attorney general said he was acting on instructions. Legal observers believe
he was following orders from the palace and has been made a scapegoat because of the bad publicity surrounding the case.
