Germany takes one more step to outlawing religious subjugation of women


The German parliament’s upper house, the Bundesrat, introduced a new law to ‘ensure a driver’s identity can be determined’ if they’re caught speeding. Anyone found with a facial covering, including carnival masks and face-obscuring hoods, will be fined €60.

The Transportation Ministry declined to comment on whether the legislation essentially meant a ‘burka ban’ but said: ‘The rule of law requires that only drivers can be held accountable. ‘That presumes that they can be identified.’
