“Fines of up to £900 for wearing a burqa will be introduced in Switzerland next year, the country’s government has announced. The measure widely known as the ‘burqa ban’ will take effect in every Swiss canton on January 1, after it was already established in St Gallen and Ticino following regional votes. Narrowly passed in a 2021 referendum in neutral Switzerland, and condemned by Muslim associations, the country-wide ban was proposed by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party. The governing Federal Council said in a statement it had fixed the start of the ban, and that anyone who unlawfully flouts it in a public place faces a fine of up to £888 (1,000 Swiss francs).” (11/06/24)
