Swiss locals are set to vote on a referendum that could force local police to release the nationality and background of criminals after the Zurich city police decided to stop publishing the information.
The proposed referendum, which will take place on March 7th, comes after the Zurich police stopped publishing ethnic and nationality data on criminals in 2017, one of the only police forces in the country that does not release such data.
The local government has criticised the referendum and proposed a counteroffer to the proposal, stating that it would accept the publishing of nationality data but would not disclose the migrant origins of those who have become naturalised in Switzerland, broadcaster RTS reports.
