The European Court of Human Rights has upheld a ban by France on wearing the Muslim full-face veil - the niqab.
A case was brought by a 24-year-old French woman, who argued that the ban on wearing the veil in public violated her freedom of religion and expression. French law says nobody can wear in a public space clothing intended to conceal the face. The penalty for doing so can be a 150-euro fine (£120; $205).
The 2010 law came in under former conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Well we all know the true reason they banned it is because of terrorism and they have a point. Even in Chad, veils were banned, so I think it's normal as terrorist are taking advantage of it. By the way... the fine is too small... 150euros for what? Anybody caught wearing it should pay €10,000 euros, thats the only way people will stop. . .

The fine for pass like that na
