Spanish city restores niqab ban with fines
The Laredo Municipal Council in Spain has decided to impose a ban on full-face coverings in public places in order to combat the wearing of the burqa and niqab, with fines for violators. The ban includes individuals who cover their faces entirely with objects or items, with exceptions for freedom of expression and religious rites. This measure comes as part of an alliance between leftist parties and the far right, aiming to promote coexistence and respect for the law. Previously, Spain had repealed similar laws due to violations of religious freedom, but the new amendment seeks to avoid legal challenges.
