French deputies pass face veil ban

France’s lower house of parliament has voted to ban the wearing of face-covering veils in public places by 336 votes to one in the 557-seat assembly.

The bill, which has received overwhelming support in opinion polls, must now be ratified by the senate in September to become law.

The opposition Socialist party, who originally wanted the ban limited only to public buildings, boycotted Tuesday’s vote.

France’s highest administrative body cautioned in March that the bill could be found to be unconstitutional and therefore thrown out.

Estelle Youssouffa, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Paris, said: “The Council of the State warned the government that the French law and the EU law could find this bill unconstitutional, as it violates human rights and religious freedom.”

  25. modernreject said: If you haven’t read the article. Full face berkas are seen by many as oppressive and archaic. Since they are not mentioned in the Koran, men essentially use them to cover, hide, and segregate their “property” i.e. woman. They violate women’s dignity

  32. justenoughforthekitty said: What do they hope to accomplish through this? This is violating the rights of so many Muslim women. In some cultures, not allowing a woman to wear her face veil is like not letting her wear a shirt. How could they even consider passing this?!
