Brussels: 29 women cited for wearing veil

Twenty nine women who wore the burka or niqab were cited last year in the Brussels region, the francophone press reported Wednesday. Municipalities have found less violations than in 2008 (33), but there were municipalities doing so.

In 2008, just four municipalities cited women wearing a burka or niqab: Molenbeek was most notable with 21. Last year eight municipalities cited women, with Molenbeek and Brussels City leading (9 each).
