A 28-year-old woman wearing a face veil has become the first person in Denmark to be fined for violating a new law banning such garments in public places, the Religion News website reports today (August 7, 2018).
Danish police were called to a shopping center on August 3 in Horsholm -- a city of 46,000 near Copenhagen -- where they fined the woman 1,000 Danish kroner ($156).
The country's new "Burqa Ban" law went into effect on August 1.
Austria, France, and Belgium have similar laws.
