Human Rights Watch challenges the Swiss minaret ban as discriminatory

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 4 December 2009 📍 Zwitserland

After the 29 November referendum, Human Rights Watch called the ban on constructing new minarets discriminatory and contrary to religious freedom. It challenged the portrayal of Islam as a dangerous foreign presence and noted opposition from UN rights experts. This entry dates the advocacy response, not the referendum itself. The ban targeted new minarets; it was not a prohibition on every mosque or all Muslim worship.
