Police in Denmark have fined a Turkish tourist 1,000 kroner (£121) after she entered a police station to renew her visa while wearing a full-face covering.
Officers in Aarhus, in western Denmark, said the 48-year-old woman was unaware of the Scandinavian nation’s recent law making it unlawful to wear such garments in public.
The contentious “burqa ban” prohibits anyone from wearing garments which cover the face, including burqas and niqabs.
Police said the woman paid the fine, removed her full-face cover and walked away. They provided no further details. [The Independent] Read more
