Hawzah News Agency- “Burqas, niqabs, or other clothing that hides people’s faces have no place in a Danish classroom'', Minister for Immigration and Integration Rasmus Stoklund said in a statement.
In August 2018, Denmark banned the wearing full-face Islamic veils like the burqa and niqab in public places, with offenders subject to a fine.
Human rights campaigners and religious groups have criticized the ban as discriminatory and as a violation of both freedom of religion and women’s freedom of choice.
On Dec. 11, Austria’s parliament adopted a law banning headscarves in schools for girls under 14.
