Portugal bans face covering in public
The President of Portugal, António José Segurado, issued a law banning face covering in public spaces, targeting veiled Muslim women. The law prohibits wearing clothing that conceals the face or prevents identification, with exceptions for health, work, religious reasons, and weather conditions. Violators face fines ranging from 150 to 3,000 euros. The law is considered a step linked to social and cultural sensitivities and has sparked widespread criticism over its restriction of women's rights, particularly from human rights organizations.
