Today in Switzerland

In addition to that Swiss people are sitting in Kurdish camps in northeastern Syria. These Jihad travelers continue to cause political discussions – should they be sent back to Switzerland? Unlike other countries that take their citizens back, Switzerland refuses. Officially, only their children can return.

But the situation also causes more drama. An example of this is an older couple from Geneva, who must answer before the criminal court – for providing financial support to IS. The two had sent money to their son, who was going as a jihadist, when he asked them for help. The couple live in modest circumstances and had to sell their property to do so.

One can assume that the court will use mercy.

He is also starving in a camp with no option to return. The couple are now in danger of ending their lives in very precarious circumstances. And with a conviction as a supporter of terrorism.
