Re: Ban the burkha ?
And here's the bits the Mail "forgot" to mention.....
Adelaide Now
Quote:
Prosecution witness Tasneem, 36, who does not wish her surname to be published, has worn the burqa, also referred to in court as the niqab, since the age of 17 and wanted to wear it while giving evidence.
Tasneem only removes the niqab when she visits the doctor, dentist, airport Customs and when she has her driver's licence photo taken.
Otherwise, only her husband, children and blood male relatives have seen her without the niqab.
The defence had raised concerns about how the jury could be expected to read Tasneem's facial expressions if they could not see her face.
She was not in court to hear the decision but has said previously she would comply with the court decision.
