On March 15, 2024, in a series of coordinated actions across Switzerland, authorities arrested several individuals linked to counter-terrorism operations in Belgium and France, including one minor with Russian roots in the Vaud region and two minors in Genève. Additionally, on March 16, 2024, Martin Sellner, a known Identitarian activist, was arrested in Aargau, Switzerland, as he was preparing to deliver an anti-immigration lecture. The arrest, executed by armed police who also shut off the power at the event location, has sparked controversy and discussions on social media, with some suggesting the arrest was made to prevent potential breaches of peace by leftists in response to Sellner's speech.

So Martin Sellner (@Martin_Sellner) was arrested because leftists might breach the peace in response to his speech... The same leftists who quote mine Trump as calling for a 'bloodbath' when he's talking about jobs... Perhaps they're the ones who have violence on the brain?
