Danish police fine Turkish tourist for wearing face veil

/ 05:33 PM September 05, 2018

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Police in Denmark said they fined a Turkish tourist 1,000 kroner ($155) after she entered a police station to renew her visa wearing a full-face covering.

Police in Aarhus, western Denmark, said the 48-year-old woman was not aware of Denmark’s recent law that makes it unlawful to wear such garments in public. The much-debated “burqa ban” prohibits garments covering the face, including burqas and niqabs. Both are rarely seen in Denmark.

Police said Tuesday that the woman paid the fine, removed her full-face cover, and walked away. No other details were available.  /kga
