Place of refuge becomes a prison
For filmmaker Roman Polanski, Switzerland has always been a place of refuge. At his holiday chalet in the alpine resort of Gstaad, he surrounded himself with friends and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the mountains. But Switzerland was also to become his prison, the place where his past finally caught up with him, as swissinfo reports. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch/SF)

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
