Hawzah News Agency-The bill presented by the German Interior Ministry on Friday, October 21, claims that concealing the face restrict “the possibility to get to know and evaluate someone’s personality.”

It also compels women, who are employed by the state, to “wear no clothing that makes open communication impossible or more difficult.”

The draft bill further stipulates that all women, who wear face veils, should show remove the cover during passport controls, court rulings and at polling stations.

Latest disputes broke out about bans on Muslim women garments in several European countries after some French Mediterranean cities banned the burkini, the full-body Islamic swimsuit. France, which has the largest Muslim minority in Europe, banned the wearing of the burqa and niqab garments in public in 2010.

However, there is no regulation restricting the wearing of veils in Germany that has nearly four million Muslims, about five percent of the total population.

End.
