“Switzerland’s top court has rejected an appeal by four protesters who were convicted of public incitement to a crime over a banner that called for the killing of Turkey’s president at a demonstration more than 8 years ago. In a statement Wednesday, the Federal Tribunal said it upheld a lower court’s decision over the banner that read ‘Kill Erdogan with his own weapons’ — a reference to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — at a March 2017 protest in the Swiss capital, Bern. The banner featured an image of the Turkish leader with a gun pointed at his temple. A regional court convicted the defendants in 2020, handing down fines and suspended prison sentences.” (11/05/25)
