The two men, aged 24 and 29, had "chased an orthodox Jew in Davos, punched him in the face and shouted "free Palestine"", said the public prosecutor's office in response to a report in the daily newspaper "Südostschweiz", which was later supplemented by the regional journal Graubünden from Radio SRF. Both asylum seekers have now been sentenced to a prison term for this act of racial discrimination.
One of the two men, a 29-year-old Lebanese man, has accepted the sentence. However, he went into hiding shortly after the attack and is still being sought throughout Switzerland. As soon as he is found, he will have to spend two months in prison.
The other man was deported and sent back to Algeria. His lawyer has lodged an appeal against the verdict of the public prosecutor's office in Graubünden. The verdict is therefore not yet legally binding.
