Tribunal
Racist police stops on trial
Hearings on racial profiling in Swiss courts have so far revealed the following: First, racialized victims of police assaults are not taken seriously; They are considered overemotional and; their testimonies less credible than those of police officers. On the other hand, the interest in an examination regarding a violation of the prohibition of discrimination seems to be low to non-existent.
The tribunal "Racist police checks in the dock" was developed over several months, motivated by the course of the trial of Mohamed Wa Baile before the District Court of Zurich in the fall of 2016 and inspired by the format of the tribunal as staged by the Berner Rassismusstammtisch in the same year with the "Kanakentribunal". So far, the Tribunal has been staged three times in Switzerland.
