Voters Ban Face Coverings, Including Burqas And Ski Masks, In Switzerland To ‘Fight Radical Political Islam’
8th March 2021
Voters in Switzerland approved a ban on non-medical face coverings in all public areas by a thin 51%-49% margin Sunday.
The new ban will include religious attire such as burqas and niqabs worn by Muslim women, and face coverings worn by protesters like ski masks and bandannas to conceal their identity, according to the Associated Press. Authorities will now have two years to write specific legislation following the referendum.
And … they will drag their feet, because that’s what ‘authorities’ do.
