Far-right activist Martin Sellner was escorted out of Switzerland after apparently defying the entry ban against him. The Austrian campaigner for “remigration” has already been denied travel to the US and the UK.

Martin Sellner, a well-known figure in the European far-right scene, was stopped  by Swiss authorities on Saturday near a border crossing with Germany.

The 35-year-old Sellner had been invited to a gathering of an extremist organization Junge Tat (Young Deed) in Switzerland’s most populous city, Zurich. The police had already disrupted a similar Junge Tat event in March and deported Sellner.

Earlier this month, Swiss authorities announced a temporary entry ban against the activist on security grounds. But Sellner apparently ignored the ban and tried to reach Zurich from Germany on Saturday morning.
