Kingdom's embassy issues face cover ban alert in Portugal
Portugal has begun implementing a law that bans full face coverings in public places starting September 23. Violations are subject to fines ranging from 150 to 750 euros for unintentional breaches, and from 400 to 3,000 euros for intentional ones. Penalties also include up to two years in prison, a fine, or up to 240 days of community service for anyone forcing someone to conceal their face through threats or violence. The punishment is increased by one-third if the victim is a child. The Saudi embassy has called on its citizens to adhere to this law when visiting Portugal.
