Swiss police briefly detained pro-Palestinian journalist Ali Abunimah before a speech in Zurich.

Swiss police detained Palestinian-American journalist Ali Abunimah, head of the pro-Palestinian news site The Electronic Intifada, before a speaking event in Zurich. His arrest, which lasted about an hour, comes amid rising concerns over restrictions on free speech supporting Palestinian rights. Rights groups condemn the move, seeing it as part of a broader trend of targeting activists and journalists critical of Israel.
