Kazito Matondi is Dakenstan citizen who has a permanent residence and work permit in Nambiland, where he also has a wife and one child. Upon returning from vacation in Saharaland, he was arrested when going through a routine check at the airport. The police learned that he was suspected of involvement in the bombing of a hotel in Niassaland. Dakenstan authorities requested his extradition, which was granted by Nambiland authorities after Niassaland had given diplomatic guarantees that Matondi would be treated in accordance with relevant international standards.

Dakenstan authorities did not establish sufficient evidence to bring Matondi before a court, and he was released after having spent one year in custody.Matondi returned immediately to Nambiland, and contacted a lawyer. He told his lawyer that he had been tortured while being kept on custody in Niassaland, and that he had not on any occasion been brought before any court. He had also denied the possibility of contacting Nambiland authorities, and he had the impression that Nambiland authorities had shown no interest in getting access to information concerning his treatment.Matondi pointed to a report by Amnesty International that presented evidence of torture in Dakenstan prisons and that was published several months before he had been turned over to Dakenstan authorities.
