What happened: Currently, the Swiss government has sent the draft of a law that is aimed to fine people who violate the national ban on face coverings up to a thousand Swiss francs, as Dawn quotes, “as it seeks to implement a burqa ban law.” Previously: In 2021, the far-right groups of Iran had proposed the ban on facial coverings in public, and Dawn also noted, “The proposal also aimed at stopping violent street protestors from wearing masks, yet local politicians, media and campaigners refer to the measure as the burqa ban.” More: The burqa ban in France noted, “The ban on covering faces aims to ensure public safety and order. Punishment is not the priority.” It is pertinent to mention that Muslims make up nearly five percent of the Swiss population, most of who have roots in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Turkey. Report by: News Desk
