Aussie judge orders witness to remove niqab in court

GOOD:

An Australian judge has ruled that a Muslim woman must remove her full veil while giving evidence before a jury in a fraud case.

The judge in Perth said she did not consider it appropriate that the witness appear with her face covered.

The prosecution said the woman - identified only as Tasneem - would feel uncomfortable without her niqab, which would affect her evidence.

But the defence said the jury should be able to watch her facial expressions.

IF THEY WON'T ASSIMILATE AND CONFORM TO OUR VALUES & NORMS THEN THEY SHOULD BE SENT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
