Anyone who illegally violates the ban faces a fine of up to 1,000 Swiss francs ($1,144).
In Switzerland, the ban on wearing the burqa in public places came into effect on January 1. SwissInfo reported this.
Switzerland joins five other European countries, including neighboring France and Austria, that have introduced such a ban.
Anyone who illegally violates the ban faces a fine of up to 1,000 Swiss francs ($1,144).
At the same time, the ban does not apply to aircraft, diplomatic institutions and places of worship and other sacred places.
The face may be covered in places of worship and other sacred places. In addition, face coverings may be required due to health, safety, weather conditions and local Swiss customs. It is also permitted during artistic and entertainment performances and for promotional purposes.
In exceptional cases, it may be permitted to cover the face in public places if it is necessary for the exercise of freedom of expression and assembly, provided that the responsible authority approves it in advance and public order and security are not put at risk in trouble.
We remind you that the Afghan Taliban forced women on television to cover their faces.
