The law does not ban the religious Muslim veil specifically. The ban is on anything which may fully cover one's face making it impossible for them to be identified. Hence, burqa, niqab and military-like full face hoods are banned. In addition, this article would show less of a point of view if it were clearly state that the arrested people were only arrested because their protestation was not official. In France, you can protest as much as you'd like, but you must "declare" it first at the town hall.

Let me also add that the law does allow people to wear full face covered dressing (such as burqa and scarf) near a religious place like a mosque, a temple or a cemetery.

Last but not least, people fully covering their faces will not only be brought to the police station for identification, but will also have to pay a 150 €uro fine.

This law is not only an equalization law between men and women of all religions, it also allows police to arrest hooligans who often venture around legal protests but break everything in their path. These same hooligans may also be arrested in subway stations before they commit crimes.

No matter how many benefits this law bring to our modern society, one must admit is will be very difficult to apply.
