Bulgaria bans face-covering veils
By EUOBSERVER
The Bulgarian parliament approved a bill on Friday that would ban the use of "public clothing that partially or completely covers the face", a ban aimed at Islamic veils like the burqa and niqab, AFP reported. It followed bans in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. A Turkish minority party, which opposed the ban, said the other Bulgarian parties were "sowing religious intolerance".
