While Palestinian American journalist Ali Abunimah was arbitrarily detained for around two days prior to deportation, he says agents from the Swiss Ministry of Defense attempted to interrogate him.
Kafkaesque. When he said Egyptian the case of the Imam of Milan Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, aka Abu Omar, flashed in my memory. At least Ali Abunimah got the solidarity response from around the world.
It was shocking that Swiss authorities "detained" (what a plain-vanilla word for the violence involved!) Ali Abunimah. I have followed his reporting for several years. It has always seemed careful and accurate. Switzerland owes him an apology!

Plain language it may be, but he was detained. That's the word for it. Detention is violent. The Swiss government definitely owes Ali an apology.
