George Bush has cancelled a trip to Switzerland amid demands for his arrest<\/a> for war crimes:<\/p>\n

Former U.S. President George W. Bush has cancelled a visit to Switzerland over fears he could have been arrested on torture charges.<\/p>\n

Mr Bush was due to be the keynote speaker at a Jewish charity gala in Geneva on February 12.<\/p>\n

But pressure has been building on the Swiss government to arrest him and open a criminal investigation if he enters the country.<\/p>\n

Criminal complaints against Mr Bush alleging torture have been lodged in Geneva, court officials said.<\/p>\n

Human rights groups said they had intended to submit a 2,500-page case against him in the Swiss city tomorrow for alleged mistreatment of suspected militants at Guantanamo Bay.<\/p>\n

Left-wing groups have also called for a protest on the day of his visit, leading organisers at Keren Hayesod’s annual dinner to cancel Mr Bush’s participation on security grounds.<\/p>\n

The New York-based Human Rights Watch and International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH) said the cancellation was linked to growing moves to hold him accountable for the use of torture, including waterboarding.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
