Sanija Ameti, a prominent figure in the Green Liberal Party (GLP) of Switzerland, is facing severe backlash after posting an Instagram story showing her shooting at a religious image.

The incident has led to her resignation from the party leadership in Zurich and the initiation of an exclusion process by the national GLP.

Ameti's actions have sparked widespread criticism, including condemnation from the Swiss Bishops' Conference, which described her behavior as "unacceptable.

" Despite her public apology and removal of the post, Ameti and her family are under police protection due to threats.

The situation has divided opinions within the GLP, with some members criticizing the party's harsh response as an overreaction, while others emphasize the need for accountability.

The controversy highlights the tensions between freedom of expression and respect for religious sentiments in political discourse.
