Switzerland's press council has upheld a complaint against a magazine that used a cover picture of a Roma boy waving a gun with the headline "The Roma are coming: raids in Switzerland."
The council censured the Zurich weekly Weltwoche for "distortion" and "discrimination". It was revealed that the picture, which showed the boy playing with a toy gun on a garbage dump, was taken in Kosovo in 2008.
European Roma and Sinti groups condemned the cover as likely to fuel prejudice against members of the two ethnic minorities, also called Gypsies.
