My neighbors have a swastika in their window facing our building. Is this legal in Schwiiz? What should I do and should I be worried? We have small children and we know from the past that there have been problems in that building with people selling drugs and the police have raided the place a couple times in the last 10 years.

  1. >Is this legal in Schwiiz?

    This is not currently prohibited. (However, there is a legislative push in Switzerland to ban hate symbols such as Swastikas. But at the moment, they are legal, yes.)

    So, unfortunately, you can’t (and should not) do anything based on the Swastika alone.

    Of course that doesn’t stop you from reporting drug-related activity to the police.

  3. I wish you could take these people, time travel them right into the front line of 1944 and enjoy their “belief”…
    Win win

  4. Are they Swiss? In other countries like India and Japan this is a sign of benevolence and good fortune. You will see them a lot on the street over there. So that might be a reason if your neighbours are from these countries. If they are Swiss, I would consider searching for a new house.

  5. Just FYI, this is the wrong orientation for the nazi swastika

  6. It’s not what you think. Nazi‘s swastika was right facing. This is left facing and it’s a common symbol in Buddhism. In fact all Buddhist temples on Google maps in Japan are marked with this symbol. Go ahead and check it out.

  7. i think that the only reaction to that is “what the fuck”…..still i don’t think there’s a law prohibiting that
