Switzerland to vote for ‘niqab ban' referendum

On March 7, Swiss nationals will vote on a ban over the use of face coverings in public, specifically targeting face veils worn by Muslim women. The right-wing initiative comes as hygiene masks are mandatory in crowded public places due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. For Muslim organisations, the campaign is "ridiculous" and "ironic."
