SWITZERLAND: Federal Court says an anti-Islam group has the right to give out leaflets from an information booth if it wants – and the local authorities must protect them.
The Local Fribourg Council banned the group – The Movement Against the Islamization of Switzerland – from setting up an information booth Place Georges-Python during the anti-minaret campaign in 2009.
It said it refused to give permission because of a fear that violence and unrest would break out as a result, provoking a legal challenge.
The Federal Court upheld the group’s complaint that the authorities had impinged on its freedom of expression as well as on freedom of information, newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung reported.
The court said the local authorities should instead have taken additional measures to safeguard against such an event.
In particular, the court said that the authorities could have drafted more police in to safeguard the site.
Although public law does grant local authorities powers to ban demonstrations from public spaces, the court confirmed that they may not do so simply because they disapprove of the ideas being communicated.

That has to be the best video ever. What a brililant speech. If only our ass kissing MP’s would stand up and deliver such a brilliant speech. We need him everywhere!!
Maybe this is a clue? From wikipedia….
‘The Swiss army has long been a militia trained and structured to rapidly respond against foreign aggression. Swiss males grow up expecting to undergo basic military training, usually at age 20 in the Rekrutenschule (German for “recruit school”), the initial boot camp, after which Swiss men remain part of the “militia” in reserve capacity until age 30 (age 34 for officers). Each such individual is required to keep his army-issued personal weapon (the 5.56x45mm Sig 550 rifle for enlisted personnel and/or the 9mm SIG-Sauer P220 semi-automatic pistol for officers, medical and postal personnel) at home. Up until October 2007, a specified personal retention quantity of government-issued personal ammunition (50 rounds 5.56 mm / 48 rounds 9mm) was issued as well, which was sealed and inspected regularly to ensure that no unauthorized use had taken place.[4] The ammunition was intended for use while traveling to the army barracks in case of invasion.’
Incidentally gun crime is virtually absent in Switzerland.
logdon,
Thank you for this excellent information.
Best Wishes,

Contrary to the ‘Disarm the public, we know best’ Left, more proof that an armed society is a safe and polite society.
It’s so sad that we have to woohoo such a fundamental right that so many of us had come to take for granted, but WOOHOO! Let’s keep that good ball rolling across the West.
Glad the courts are protecting us and our soldiers boys don’t have to die in the thousands and millions!
What an incriminating video. Seems Americans don’t have a handle on the shit this man represents. We’ve seen and heard this stuff before, but we say little or nothing. It’s as if we’ve given up. America will never be at war with islam, he says. Does he mean by that that we all will have to accept islam as our faith, or, at least as the guiding principle of culture and life? No way, Jose. I’m at war with islam, and so are a growing number of others. As Popeye famously says, “That’s all I can stand cause I can’t stand anymore.”
Oooops, I was responding to a video which this one led to. Anyway, what I wrote fits perfectly with Mr. Freysinger. Bravo, sir! BRAVO!
BRAVO PM Freysinger!!! I felt silly giving you a standing ovation at my computer screen but that was one of the best speeches I’ve heard in a long time. You are a REAL leader. Be safe and may G-D bless you.
Hell YES!!! finally someone with some balls, willing to stand up to this bullshit!
Thank the Lord for the Swiss
Rangers Lead The Way!

Its not european dhimmi court infested by leftists….its swiss court.
Jeff, but the EU court overrules the decisions of EU member courts all the time.
Switzerland does not join any bloc of countries and has maintained neutrality and is not part of EU.
But it takes guts to make correct interpretation of law by the judge to uphold the law against its misuse by dhimmi cowardly political leaders…afraid of scums rioting – so ban free speech of law abiding local !
That’s precisely what the muslo-facist-scums want.
Jeff, I look forward to the demise of the EU.
You and me both!
And the beat goes on!
Finally a complete resounding affirmation of mankind’s resistance to evil.
We need to have the right to criticize all religions and all ideologies…including Islamofascism.
Great Speech and very well put over,but will it be allowed to reach round the Globe,we Deff.need more like this.
A European government Defending Free Speech? In defiance of Muslims? Suely, this is a sign of the Apocalypse!
Sounds great in the German language, probably wouldn’t have sounded so powerful in Switzerland’s other languages, French or Italian.
