The organisation was also critical of Switzerland’s temporary suspension of asylum demands during the pandemic.
Between March and June 2020, the Swiss government used exceptional powers in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and this impacted on free movement and the freedom to gather. At the beginning of the pandemic the police, who were not given clear guidance, disproportionately restricted peaceful public protest, according to the organisation. Some cantons fined protestors.
The NGO also criticised Switzerland for suspending the registration of asylum requests for all but the vulnerable when it closed its border with Italy between mid-March and mid-May 2020.
