The Swiss government affirmed to follow the agreement with Libya although Libya did not release two Swiss citizens until now. Switzerland's president faced growing pressure to resign as the government failed to secure the release of two citizens detained in Libya since the arrest of Moammar Gadhafi's son in Geneva last year.
