Hundreds gathered in Zurich yesterday to rally against hatred and violence following the knife attack on a Jewish victim last weekend.
Up to 400 met at the Lindenhof. A mixture of Jewish and Muslim speakers called for respectful co-existence and the rejection of racism and exclusion.
The rally was organised by a group of Muslims and Jews who’ve been meeting since October to create understanding between the religions.
