A free press gives voice to the voiceless, exposes injustice, and holds leaders accountable.The United States supports freedom of the press and the right of free expression as fundamental to democracy. Our support for the media in Eswatini incudes journalist exchanges and training, advocacy for access to information, and monitoring press freedom in our annual congressionally mandated Human Rights Report,\u201d reads the US Embassy\u2019s online report published on Friday.<\/p>\n
