Swiss intellectuals plan to overturn the ban on minarets

Swiss liberals are considering a new referendum to overturn the ban on new minarets. Club Helvetique, a group of over 20 Swiss intellectuals, will draw up an action plan to overturn the ban, which has drawn widespread criticism abroad and prompted hundreds of people to take to the streets this weekend in Zurich, Basel and Berne.

“A new initiative is the most democratic way of achieving this,” constitutional lawyer Joerg Mueller told Sonntag. Source: The Independent
