| Islamic headscarf: French curbs come into force |
| 2011-04-11 |
| A law has come into force in France which makes it an offence for a Muslim woman to conceal her face behind a veil when in public. Anyone caught breaking the law will be liable to a fine of 150 euros (£133, $217) and a citizenship course. People forcing women to wear the veil face a much larger fine and a prison sentence of up to two years. |
