Jurisprudence

The association Pro Kinderrechte Schweiz (Pro Children's Rights Switzerland) filed a criminal complaint in Bern in April 2018 against a doctor who amputated children's foreskin without medical indication.[2] The report read on multiple grievous bodily harm (according to Art. 122 StGB). The public prosecutor's office dismissed the criminal complaint, claiming that male genital cutting is unpunished in Switzerland.[3] If this claim were correct, any person could currently genitally mutilate any male person with impunity. Pro Kinderrechte Schweiz filed a supervisory complaint against this unlawful rejection of the criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office (October 2018). They demand that this decision be overturned and that the criminal complaint be properly checked.[4]
