NZZ added that the Zurich police had been notified of Abunimah's planned appearance and submitted a request to Fedpol that he be banned, which was granted.
Government councilor and the Head of the Department of Security, Mario Fehr, told NZZ that Abunimah is forbidden to travel to Zurich, adding, "We do not want an Islamist Jew-hater who calls for violence in Switzerland."
