Euro Court rules in favor of Switzerland in Turkish parents' co-ed swimming rejection case
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on Jan. 10 ruled in favor of Switzerland over a case in which Turkish-origin parents said their right to "freedom of thought, conscience and religion" was breached when they were fined by Swiss authorities for refusing to send their daughters to co-ed swimming lessons, which the parents claimed it was against their religious convictions.
