Excerpt:
The Federal Commission against Racism says posters for the rightwing Swiss People's Party's anti-minaret campaign "incite hatred".
Cities around Switzerland have reacted differently. While Lausanne, Montreux, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and Yverdon-les-Bains followed Basel in outlawing the posters in publicly owned spaces, Geneva, Zurich, Biel, Winterthur and Lucerne have rejected the ban on free-speech grounds.
The main poster, which shows a woman in a burka and a Swiss flag with minarets springing out of it, implies that "the Muslim minority living in Switzerland may represent a terrible danger" the commission said in a statement.
