The foreign ministry summoned the Russian ambassador on Thursday to complain about “unacceptable” threats towards a Swiss journalist.
The Swiss government was responding to a statement by the Russian embassy regarding the work of a Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) journalist covering the war in Ukraine. In Russia, wrote the embassy, the journalist’s coverage was liable to land him a financial penalty, a prison term, or a period of forced labour.
