PARIS – Paris police on Monday arrested two veiled women and several other people protesting in front of Notre Dame cathedral against France’s new ban on wearing full-face veils in public.
An AFP journalist at the scene said the arrests came after police moved in to break up the protest which had not been authorised.
On Saturday police arrested 59 people, including 19 veiled women, who turned up for a banned protest in Paris against the draconian new law, the first of its kind to be enforced in Europe.

  1. The French have a right to their own culture. If French people don't want to see draconian Islamic veils that is their right. If the Muslim woman wants to wear her draconian Islamic veil she can move to a draconian Islamic country.
