The justice authorities have dropped a legal inquiry against an imam in central Switzerland suspected of making controversial statements about wife-beating.
In the wake of the incident, the Dar Assalam organisation, which represents the Islamic community in central Switzerland, recommended that all prayers be recorded and stored for 12 months.
Four years ago, the iman from Iraq was acquitted in a trial for allegedly supporting militant groups. He reportedly arrived in Switzerland in 2007.
