18:11Now PlayingSwitzerland's parliament has endorsed a new law banning face coverings, believed to target Muslim women wearing burqas and niqabs. This decision comes after the country's lower chamber voted 151 to 29 in support of the bill, which not only bans the covering of the nose, mouth, and eyes in public spaces but also in private buildings accessible to the public. Violators will face a fine of 1,000 Swiss francs ($1,114). Although the legislation includes exceptions for indigenous customs, religious services, theatrical performances, and health and climate reasons, it follows a 2009 policy prohibiting the construction of new mosque minarets. Notably, a 2021 study by the University of Lucerne indicated that only between 21 and 37 women in Switzerland wore a niqab, and none wore the burqa.
