Spanish city bans niqab and veil
The Spanish city of Laredo has approved a ban on full-face coverings in public places, aiming to prevent the wearing of burqas and niqabs. This was enacted through an amendment to the municipal law, which imposes fines on offenders. The measure seeks to promote social harmony and respect for the laws, with exceptions for exercising fundamental rights and places of worship. This ban follows the previous annulment by the Alexandria court of similar decisions, which were deemed to violate religious freedom.
