In contrast to many other countries, Switzerland confines most of its immigration detainees in ordinary prisons together with convicted or on remand prisoners – although usually in separated areas.

Alors que l’élection de Trump et ses premiers pas à la présidence ont monopolisé l’attention des médias au cours des derniers mois, on pourrait penser qu’il ne se passe plus grand-chose aux frontières de l’Europe. Que reste-t-il de la soi-disant « crise des réfugiés » qui a déchaîné tant de passions entre 2015 et 2016 ? Que s’est-il passé depuis la fin de l’année 2016 aux frontières de l’Europe ?
