First demonstrator killed by Swiss police

The police did cut a rope on which one demonstrator did hang. He did fall down more than 20 meters. First, the police didn't let through the ambulance, later, the demonstrator was picked up by a chopper but died later. Another demonstrator is still hanging on a rope, cops tried to cut it also.

Can somebody please confirm this information about the first person killed by the police?. Can we also publish a piece of news with detalied info rather than an alarming message. I have friends there who may used ropes to make their actions, so if someone knows accurately what is happening please let us konw. Cheers.

this article is being hidden for now

This article is being hidden because it's unconfirmed information - in fact on monday at 13:41 British time (14.41 european hours) it is confirmed that this person is alive and treated in hospital.

It would be very damaging for the morale of activists out there if they were just able to read the headline, so a team of imc uk who are on the case have decided to hide it.

Please check the newswire for news about this as we are going to publish more updates as they come.

If you want to complain, you can write to us in the features lists - thank you
