Switzerland Approves Ban On Face Coverings In Public

A poster in Lausanne, Switzerland, reads "Stop extremism!" The Swiss passed a new ban on facial coverings in public in a narrow 51.2% majority vote Sunday.

Swiss voters backed a ban on niqabs and burqas worn by a handful of Muslim women in the country. A Muslim advocacy group called it Islamophobic.
