Swiss Demonstrators Detained

January 16, 2017;

Thirty two Tibetans and supporters were detained in Switzerland after peacefully protesting against Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit. They held a demonstration, waving posters and Tibetan flags, and chanting “Free Tibet” and “Don’t Deal With Killers”. The demonstration was organised by the Tibetan Youth Association of Europe and the Tibetan Community in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The Swiss authorities had given permission for a very limited demonstration.
