The thesis identifies measurable framing patterns across the Swiss media corpus, while also examining the use of legal references, historical anchoring, and displacement-related labels. The findings show that Swiss media rarely framed Palestinians’ displacement in Gaza as a legally structured process of forced displacement or as part of a longer trajectory of dispossession. Instead, displacement was mainly presented as a humanitarian and coercive condition of wartime.
Migrants Placed in the Wardia Centre: Detained, then Deported or “Forcibly” Returned (April 2020)
This research report examines the situation of migrants placed in the Wardia Reception and Orientation Center in Tunisia. Based on field visits, testimonies, interviews and legal analysis, the report documents how migrants were held in a center officially presented as a place of “reception,” while in practice being deprived of freedom of movement and exposed to deportation or so-called “voluntary return” procedures.
The report argues that the Wardia Center operates in a legal vacuum, reflecting a broader security-based approach to migration in Tunisia. It raises questions about detention without clear legal basis, the treatment of migrants and refugees, and Tunisia’s role in regional and European migration control.
