Swiss Communications Minister Moritz Leuenberger gives swissinfo his take on the diplomatic crack that threatens to grow between Switzerland and Tunisia.

On Wednesday Swiss President Samuel Schmid's criticism of nations that imprisoned people for their political beliefs was deemed unsuitable for the eyes and ears of Tunisian television viewers.

Schmid made his comments at the opening of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

Since Schmid's remarks, it has not been possible to access swissinfo anywhere in Tunisia apart from at the WSIS press centre.
