[… T]he woman had become involved in a scuffle with another woman who had tried to tear her niqab off […].
Police took a photograph of the woman wearing the niqab, and obtained security camera footage from the shopping centre of the incident.
As of 1 August, wearing a burqa, which covers a person’s entire face, or the niqab, which only shows the eyes, in public carries a fine of 1,000 kroner. […] Human rights campaigners say the ban is a violation of women’s rights, while supporters argue it enables better integration of Muslim immigrants.
Belgium, France, Germany and Austria have also imposed bans or partial bans of full-face veils.
Obviously the niqab was causing the public social disturbance, not the person who violently attacked someone and tried to tear their clothing off!
