Spain to consider banning burqas in public

None

Spain's leading opposition party says the country's parliament is to debate barring the use of burqas in public, joining other European countries considering similar moves on the grounds that such garments are degrading to women.

 

A spokeswoman for the Popular Party said they have tabled a motion to debate total body-covering Islamic veils in the lower house on Tuesday or Wednesday. (AP)
