The youth arm of the right-wing Swiss People's Party filed a criminal complaint against Ameti for violation of freedom of religion and worship, the party announced on Monday morning. Nicolas Rimoldi, founder of Mass-Voll, a movement formed to protest pandemic measures, also announced that he would press charges.
After Swiss daily Blick reported on the pictures published by Ameti on Instagram on Sunday, it did not take long for the 32-year-old politician to respond to the criticism. She had deleted the pictures after becoming aware of the religious content, she wrote on X and asked for an apology.
Ameti said that she had happened to have an art catalogue with her and had not paid attention to the religious content of the picture.
Amid criticism, she resigned from leadership of the Liberal Greens in Zurich. The party is also considering expulsion proceedings, according to a report in Swiss public television SRF. "In the view of the party leadership, Sanija Ameti's continued membership of the Green Liberals would damage the reputation of the Green Liberals. In order to prevent further damage, the party is requesting that expulsion proceedings be initiated immediately," the party announced.
Ameti had published pictures showing her with a sports pistol during shooting practice, as well as a picture of Mary and Jesus riddled with gunshots.
Picture included since this could use one of you young !Catholics/!Christians to fix her and maybe that type of appeal will cause some of you to start caring about proselytizing heathens.

Not to engage in dunecoon apologia but no practising Muslim would (or should I guess) be shooting at a picture of Jesus of all people. I'd get it if it was Mary on her own but this seems more like atheist edgelordery.

You're correct but it's wordy to say "Muslim->atheist millenial" and she chose Jesus and the Blessed Virgin rather than so I went with it.

Sounds like "I'm an atheist but want the fricking Muslim vote"
Kinda like Christian politicians in the fricking U.S. that support abortion

Doesn't even make sense to shoot at Mary on her own. She's highly venerated in Islam and her name appears in the Quran an absolutely huge number of times.
