Freedom of Religion in Switzerland

Freedom of religion is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion. This is article 18 of the Universal Deceleration of Human Rights. Now if the country in question was Iran where Bahai's as a religious minority experience constant and continues attack it wouldn't be a surprise. After all the Iranian regime is known for its lack of freedom and crimes against humanity but Switzerland is a democracy. The rights of minorities should be recognized and respected.
