WSIS: Switzerland Sends Formal Complaint to Tunisia
The Swiss foreign ministry has summoned the Tunisian ambassador in Bern to complain about the treatment of the Swiss delegation in Tunis last week.
Swiss President Samuel Schmid was censored by Tunisian television at the opening of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).
The head of the Africa/Middle East division of the Swiss foreign ministry, Paul Fivat, communicated the Swiss protest orally, foreign ministry spokesman Jean-Philippe Jeannerat told swissinfo.
Jeannerat added that the government had asked Marc Furrer, head of the Swiss delegation to the WSIS in Tunis, to write to the International Telecommunication Union to protest against the various obstructions to the work of journalists at the summit.
