(Swiss Info) An appeal to suspend a provision of a Geneva law that reinforces the separation of religion and state has failed.
In February, the secularism law was accepted by over 55% of voters in canton Geneva. Among the provisions covered by the law is a ban on wearing religious symbols by elected officials and public servants.
An appeal to suspend this provision was rejected by the Constitutional Chamber of the Geneva Court of Justice and communicated to the public on Monday. The ban on wearing religious symbols remains effective until further notice.
