Bush Cancels Europe Trip Amid Fears He Could Be Arrested
George W. Bush has cancelled a planned trip to Europe after reports emerged that authorities may have been planning on arresting him. Bush was due to speak at the United Israel Appeal in Switzerland this week, but the event got cancelled due to several human rights groups calling on Swiss authorities to investigate and arrest the former U.S. president for authorizing torture. Wearechange.org reports: The Swiss group and Bush’s spokesman claim that it was threats of protest, not of legal action, that prompted the cancellation. But facing protests is nothing new for Bush.
