According to the ruling of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) published on Tuesday, the police violated the right to freedom and security of the two victims. Switzerland was ordered to pay compensation for non-material damage totaling EUR 1,000, as well as costs and expenses totaling EUR 10,000.

The incident took place on May 1, 2011 in Zurich. Police surrounded the demonstrators at the time. The two complainants were subsequently arrested and held until the evening. They were released after a thorough identity check.

After the two demonstrators had defended themselves in vain all the way to the Federal Court, they then turned to the ECtHR in Strasbourg. Her complaint has now been approved there. (SDA)
