Sri Lanka bans face coverings after Easter Sunday bombings

Sri Lanka bans face coverings after Easter Sunday bombings

Sri Lanka has banned all kinds of clothing that cover the face and prevent identification, such as niqabs and burqas, officials said on Sunday, a week after the Easter bombings that left over 250 people dead.

A statement from the office of the president said the ban was being introduced from Monday under new regulations brought under a state of emergency in response to the Easter bombings in Colombo, the capital.

Sri Lanka’s justice ministry had already been considering introducing laws preventing wearing of burqa and niqab, but has expedited the ban.

On Sunday, a group of Muslim leaders had called on community members to refrain from wearing clothing in a manner that obstructs identification of persons.
