‘Switzerland is sending a dangerous signal to the world’
www.swissinfo.ch
With its new anti-terror legislation Switzerland could provide a model for authoritarian regimes, warns UN human rights expert Fionnuala Ní Aoláin.

This new anti-terror law allows the federal police to put under electronic surveillance any swiss citizen without any judicial oversight. It also authorize the Federal Police to place under house arrest people as young as 12 with little oversight. New definition of terrorism is also extremely vague; anybody that wants to influence political order through fear or terror may be considered a terrorist threat.

    I have the feeling covid is not going to help, as well, in collecting the necessary signatures, but I might be wrong, depending on how Switzerland does its chores.

      well its still allowed to collect signatures, even during a worldwide pandemia. its just that events like the ones that happened in france and austria arent really helping.
