Zurich airport - Police methods at Zurich airport are now under scrutiny Switzerland has halted special flights to deport asylum seekers after a Nigerian man on hunger strike died on the tarmac at Zurich airport.

BBC News - Swiss investigate death of Nigerian asylum seeker

"The man who died was a drug-dealer who had been on hunger strike for several days. "

And SO????  A country has a right to exclude foreigners who break their laws.  The man, a drug dealer, starved himself.  So?  He made his choices and paid the price.  I have absolutely no sympathy for his plight.  But I do thank him for his thoughtfulness in saving that country the cost of the trip back home.  Now hopefully, he has family who will bury him and not make that, too, a price to be paid by the citizens of Switzerland......
