Swiss Move To Segregate Asylum-seekers by kakakibuy(m): 4:48pm On Aug 07, 2013
Some Swiss towns plan to keep asylum-seekers away from public places such as swimming pools, playing fields and libraries, in a move human rights groups say is racist.

Roman Staub, mayor of the town of Menzingen, said asylum-seekers should be banned from "sensitive areas" such as the vicinity of a school. "This is certainly a very difficult area, because here asylum-seekers could meet our schoolchildren - young girls or young boys," he said.

This part is quite shocking. What ever happened to the Geneva convention and the rights of a human being? The earlier we fix our country, the better. Racism all over the world has been on the increase from the time the US lied to the world about WMD in Iraq.
