Italy proposes ban on burqas and niqabs in public, citing national unity and integration.
Italy’s Brothers of Italy party has introduced a bill to ban burqas and niqabs in public spaces, including schools and workplaces, citing concerns over Islamic separatism and national sovereignty.
The law, inspired by France’s 2011 ban, would impose fines of €300 to €3,000 for violations and strengthen controls on foreign funding to religious groups.
It also increases penalties for forced marriages and virginity tests.
The move, backed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government, aims to promote secular values and integration, though critics warn it may stigmatize Muslim communities and infringe on religious freedom.
The bill is under parliamentary review with no set timeline for debate.
