Swissed-off: Outrage as 'Minaret ban' scandal flares up

The UN human rights chief says Switzerland's minaret ban is discriminatory and puts it on a collision course with international law. This weekend Switzerland held a referendum on banning minarets on mosques. Official results from the poll show a majority support the move. It's the first time a country has voted to curb the religious practices of muslims. It was put forward by the right wing People's Party which argues that minarets are a political symbol. Muslim groups attacked the decision as anti-Islamic. RT's Gayane Chichyakyan went to investigate the case.
