UN rights chief sees bigotry in Europe on Islam
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour said on Monday that bigotry and prejudice, especially in regard to Muslims, were common in Europe and called on governments to tackle the issue.
Diene pointed to the recent appearance of a cartoon in a provincial Swedish newspaper that governments of Islamic countries say offended their religion as an example of abuse of the right of free speech to sow suspicion of Muslims.
He also hit out at Switzerland over perceived anti-immigrant campaigning by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP/UDC).
