Switzerland has suspended all flights removing rejected asylum seekers after an asylum seeker on a hunger strike died in shackles on the tarmac at Zurich airport as he was being taken to the plane that would return him to Nigeria.
The 29-year old man, a convicted drug dealer, had been on a hunger strike for several days.
Swiss authorities have launched an investigation into the man’s death. Thirteen other Nigerians, who were being deported with the deceased, have accused the Swiss police of inhumane treatment.
"They dealt with us like animals," one, named only as Emmanuel, told Switzerland's Swissinfo Web site. "The shackled our feet, knees, hands, hips arms and torso and made us wear a helmet like those worn by boxers. It was simply impossible to move."
Police have said that they immediately took off the man’s shackles and called for medical assistance when he collapsed.

Man dies in shackles on airport tarmac before deportationA drug dealer on hunger strike, well I have very little sympathy for people like that and then they claim inhumane treatment. They are the facilitators of so much human tragedy for some money. Fortunately, that is one piece of trash off the streets. |

The problem may be just allegations of drug dealing (we may never know) or a setup for public relations propaganda thanks to the WHORES in the mainstream media today. It is not a bad idea today to shut down all the mainstream media.
These supposedly to be deportees may just be actors in the stage to galvanize the public opinion into
such unpopular acts. After the show is over thanks again to the mainstream media WHORES, the actors may be going back to their old trade.
The government under the order of the bankers may be using this as propaganda as well as a setup to facilitate massive deportations of foreigners in the EU.
Why does not the government of Switzerland just declare in public instead of using setups and/or propaganda that they want immigrants and foreigners out of the country if that is what they want? |

Swiss and European ResponsibilitiesThe west ha to accept its responsibility for haivng colonised Africa Assia and Latin America. It simply cannot top the Tsunami of refugees and asylum seekers seeking refuge from the dictators they set up in foreign lands to protect their investments and sub human conditions for high returns.
The Swiss are Nazis and have always been Nazis. Their image of neutrality died a long time ago. May th soul of this young man finally rest in peace. But as the stars in heaven cannot be counted, may the miseries of people like the Swiss grow in number.

This has been Swiss normal way of treating AfricansSwiss, keep it up. this is not a news to me bcs i traveled that road, see it myself. all i want to tell the swiss and its agents is that they are inviting trouble for themselves. one enemy you make today could rise to a million enemies in future, so the other way round. |

InhumanThere is no justification for Swiss authorities to use an inhuman methods to deport anybody.I don’t care if its an African or anyother race.Nigerian government should ask Swiss government to explain if such method is allowed by United Nation Human Right agreement. |
